Stay For Dinner
by Sandhya Parappukkaran
Description
Stay for Dinner is a powerful story that celebrates culture and connection through food, from the creators of The Boy Who Tried to Shrink His Name, winner of the 2022 Children's Book Council of Australia's Award for New Illustrator. Reshma’s family eat with their hands. When she’s invited to stay for dinner at her friends’ places, she finds out that they all eat in different ways. Some go ting ting with their cutlery, and others go click clack with their chopsticks. So what will her friends say when they see her family eat with their hands? Join Sandhya Parappukkaran as she reads from her new picture book Stay for Dinner and create an artwork of your favourite foods.
