{"product_id":"hungry-johnny-9780873519267","title":"Hungry Johnny","description":"\"I like to eat, eat, eat,\" choruses young Johnny as he watches Grandma at work in the kitchen. Wild rice, fried potatoes, fruit salad, frosted sweet rolls--what a feast! Johnny can hardly contain his excitement. In no time, he'll be digging in with everyone else, filling his belly with all this good food. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But wait. First there is the long drive to the community center. And then an even longer Ojibwe prayer. And then--well, young boys know to follow the rules: elders eat first, no matter how hungry the youngsters are. Johnny lingers with Grandma, worried that the tasty treats won't last. Seats at the tables fill and refill; platters are emptied and then replaced. Will it ever be their turn? And will there be enough? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As Johnny watches anxiously, Grandma gently teaches. By the time her friend Katherine arrives late to the gathering, Johnny knows just what to do, hunger pangs or no. He understands, just as Grandma does, that gratitude, patience, and respect are rewarded by a place at the table--and plenty to eat, eat, eat. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Writer and beadwork artist \u003cb\u003eCheryl Kay Minnema\u003c\/b\u003e is a member of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe.
