You Made Fun of My Sandwich (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798765922538)

When a kid is teased about their lunch-- the response is one of humor, creativity, and empathy.

When a classmate mocks their lunch, the storyteller's imagination takes flight. Clearly, the classmate doesn't realize that sandwiches don't know any words and can't be insulted. Also, the kid seems confused. Perhaps they think the sandwich is a strange fish. Or a space rock. But these are not the reasons for the classmate's bullying. Sometimes they come to school with no lunch--or food they throw away. The narrator concludes that the kid is not truly mean. But hungry. And offers them half a sandwich.

You Made Fun of My Sandwich tackles two tough topics--bullying and hunger--with a sensitive yet lighthearted hand, skillfully combining humor and empathy. A section for adults at the back of the book shares discussion questions to help children develop empathy and imagination.
