Book overview

A scrumptious celebration of the connection between family, friends, and food to empower little ones to be proud of where they come from.

Tariq loves food, from delicious dinners with his big family to scrumptious surprises in his lunchbox at school.

But when he's asked to bring in a special dish for his class picnic, Tariq begins to worry about how he'll choose just one tasty favorite!

As his family inspire him with stories of their favorite foods, Tariq soon realizes that choosing the perfect dish is about more than just how it tastes.

What special story would Tariq like his food to tell?

Written by Maryam Hassan, inspired by her childhood enjoying delicious South Asian dishes, and the joy she finds sharing it with new friends! Brought to life with stunning artwork by Anna Wilson.
