Tomatoes in My Lunchbox

A girl has left her homeland and is beginning school in a new country. The girl is filled with longing to have a name that is easy to say, to have a lunch that looks like the lunches of others. Tentatively, she tries to connect with others, and, after a few misfires, she succeeds.

A lovely story of making friendships and connections despite differences, with beautiful and poetic language and soft gentle illustrations.
