About the Book
Book Description:
Tradition takes flight in Rice & Rocks, a picture book celebrating culture and diversity.
Giovanni's friends are coming over for Sunday dinner, and his grandmother is serving rice and beans. Giovanni is embarrassed he does not like 'rice and rocks' and worries his friends will think the traditional Jamaican dish is weird. But his favorite Auntie comes to the rescue. She and Giovanni's pet parrot, Jasper, take him on a magical journey across the globe, visiting places where people eat rice and rocks. This exciting story celebrates the varied traditions of every culture while also highlighting the delicious similarities that bring us all together.

My Review:
Amanda and I were whisked away into the adventure story of Rice & Rocks that celebrates different cultures and family traditions. The message is clear enough for little kids to understand. The beautiful illustrations capture the expressions and interesting details of the different homes that we visited.
This is what Amanda said about the book: I like the drawings. I like that they go on different adventures. I like that it's also fantasy.
