Review:
How do you share family
traditions with your friends? Giovanni has invited his friends over for Sunday
dinner. When his favorite auntie arrived, she expressed her joy in the fact
that Grandma would be preparing Jamaican stewed chicken with rice and beans. Unfortunately
for Giovanni, rice and beans equals rice and rocks. He generally picked out the
rocks at dinner time and wondered would his friends even like them or
understand this particular family tradition. His auntie explained how far back
the tradition went and asked about his friends whose families happened to be
from Puerto Rico, New Orleans and Japan. With the help of Jasper, his magical
parrot, they embarked on an adventure to learn more about traditions and other
cultures that embraced rice and rocks. Will Giovanni learn that his friends eat
rice and rocks as a traditional food like him?
