Rice and Ricks Book Review & Giveaway
Disclaimer: I received a complimentary book for review in exchange for an honest opinion. All options are my own.
Celebrating family traditions is something that most children participate in but may not fully understand and may be afraid to share with friends. In the book, Rice & Rocks by Sandra L. Richards, Giovanni is unsure of how his friends will react when they come over to his house for Sunday dinner to partake in a Jamaican tradition, eating rice & rocks (beans). With the help of his Auntie & Jasper, a magical feathered friend, he sets off an adventure to learn about similar traditions in very different cultures.
My boys really enjoyed reading this book and were truly able to relate to the characters, especially through the detailed illustrations, as well as make some great text-to-self connections. Plus, they learned a bit about other cultures which has sparked their interest to learn more on their own.
