The Supper Squad

Five friends. One table. A whole world of flavor. What do you do when dinner doesn't come with a fork? The Supper Squad - Maya, Anya, Sam, Kofi, and Nico - take turns visiting each other's homes every month, ready for anything. Except maybe this. At Maya's house, lunch means crispy Southern fried chicken and spicy Ethiopian Doro Wat stew, served on one giant plate of soft, spongy Injera instead of forks and spoons. No forks. No spoons. Just hands, hearts, and a whole lot of curiosity. Join the Supper Squad as they learn that the best part of a meal isn't how you eat it - it's who you share it with. A warm, funny, heartfelt story about new traditions, old favorites, and what happens when friends make room for something they've never tried before. >Family read-alouds and bedtime stories Classroom read-alouds and world cultures units Homeschool lessons on food traditions and geography >Inside this book, you'll also find: A "Word Hive" glossary explaining Injera, Gursha, and other food traditions, with pronunciation guides A "Note for Grown-Ups" explaining the customs in the story "Tools of the Tribe" - fun facts about how families eat around the world, from chopsticks to banana leaf plates >From the author of The Flavors of Us series, The Supper Squad: Maya's Magic Bread is a joyful invitation to stay curious about the traditions we don't yet know - and to discover that the best stories often start at someone else's table.
