Carla's Sandwich

This new paperback edition of a charming award-winning story helps young children understand how to creatively embrace who they are. When Carla brings weird sandwiches to school, her classmates have plenty to say about them. " That's sick!" says Leslie. " That's disgusting!" says Natie. But Carla thinks otherwise. " It's unique. It's creative." Just like Carla. Although she is teased and even ignored by her classmates, Carla's strong inner sense of uniqueness eventually wins them over. Wacky sandwiches, wacky illustrations and kid-true dialogue make this book's message of acceptance, tolerance, and the importance of individuality extremely palatable. And who knows? Carla's Sandwich may even help parents with that ever present dilemma - what to pack for school lunch!
