But we are able to demonstrate our unique individuality and diversity in the way we make that bread, or that cake, or that piece of jewelry. For example, I used a theme approach for both books. It was my way of linking our similarities while celebrating our diversity. The glossary at the end of your book is super- very complete and easy for kids to understand. I don't think we give kids enough credit when it comes to trying new and different foods.
Kids can be adventurous eaters if given the chance and opportunity.
I never force them to eat what they don't like, but I encourage them to at least try. Plus, when kids are involved in the planning and preparing of the meal, they are more willing to give it a try. Food is a wonderful way to expose children to many diverse cultures and to new and interesting tastes. I'm not suggesting we all cook from scratch every night. Everyone is so busy today and it's easy to rely on fast foods.
