Food, family, and the stories behind a tradition

An International Day assignment at Michelle Obama Academy prompts Kyndle to investigate where his family’s salmon croquettes and collard greens belong. With support from relatives and friends, he traces the history of soul food and the resilience, ingenuity, and ancestral traditions connected to it. The school project gives the novel a clear route into questions of identity and heritage, while the included family recipes and classroom discussion questions extend its subject matter beyond the story.

Book overview

At Michelle Obama Academy, International Day is a time to celebrate culture, family, and food. But when Kyndle is asked to share his family's dish, he draws a blank. His beloved salmon croquettes and collard greens don't seem to fit neatly into any country's cuisine-and that question sparks a journey of discovery.

 

Determined to uncover the truth, Kyndle dives into his family's history. With the help of his parents, grandparents, and friends, he learns the powerful story behind Soul Food-dishes born of resilience, ingenuity, and ancestral traditions. What begins as an ordinary school project turns into a heartwarming journey of identity, heritage, and pride.

Complete with classroom discussion questions and family recipes, Kyndle Serves Up His History is both a captivating read and a valuable teaching resource. Perfect for readers ages 10-14 (Grades 5-8), this inspiring middle-grade novel celebrates cultural pride, the unifying power of food, and the importance of knowing where you come from.
