Qué pasa cuando la comida favorita que un niño o una niña trae a la escuela recibe comentarios denigrantes a la hora del almuerzo? Descúbrelo en esta edición bilingüe.

What happens when a child's favorite packed lunch is met with disparaging comments at the school lunch table?

En un salón lleno de sándwiches, cuatro estudiantes se destacan con sus comidas caseras que reflejan las culturas de las que forman parte. Antes de que puedan disfrutar de sus comidas favoritas, estas se arruinan al enfrentar narices arrugadas y reacciones de asco por parte de los compañeros y las compañeras que solo comen sándwiches.

A través de este libro ilustrado que promueve la empatía e inspira a que todos los lectores defiendan su comida, acompaña a cada uno de los cuatro estudiantes mientras aprenden a lidiar con sus primeros "momentos de lonchera". Tomando inspiración de los "momentos de lonchera" de cuatro aclamados chefs, Ray García, Preeti Mistry, Mina Park y Russ Federman, este relato conmovedor nos recuerda que la comida es un reflejo de la identidad de quien la come y una celebración auténtica de la cultura.

In a classroom of sandwiches, four students stand out with their homemade, culturally-specific lunches. But before they can dig in and enjoy their favorite foods, their lunches are spoiled by scrunched noses and disgusted reactions from their sandwich-eating classmates.

Follow each of the four students as they learn to cope with their first "lunch box moments" in this picture book that encourages empathy and inspires all readers to stand up for their food! Inspired by the "lunch box moments" of four acclaimed chefs, Ray Garcia, Preeti Mistry, Mina Park, and Niki Russ Federman, this heartwarming story reminds us all that one's food is a reflection of self and an authentic celebration of culture.

Jing Li es una ilustradora freelance que vive y trabaja en Pekín, China. Empezó a hacer arte a los cuatro años y se la ha vivido dibujando desde entonces. En el 2013, se mudó a los Estados Unidos para continuar sus estudios, y ahora tiene dos maestrías en Bellas Artes de Savannah College of Art and Design y Maryland Institute College of Art. Tras mudarse de regreso a China, estalló la pandemia de COVID-19, con el epicentro solo a dos horas de distancia de su hogar en Yichang. Durante el aislamiento, hizo arte para el Washington Post sobre su vida durante la pandemia en China, humanizando la difícil experiencia. En sus otros trabajos, ha encontrado inspiración en la cultura Hutong y en la historia y la moda de su ciudad. Cuando no está trabajando, pasa tiempo con sus perros y los saca a pasear. Con su arte, Li espera dejar momentos de su vida para que otros puedan descubrirlos en los años que vienen.
