Surprises await a young girl and her mother, on their first visit to the local food shelf!
Mr. Paul reads aloud “Saturday at the Food Pantry” written by Diane O'Neill, illustrated by Brizida Magro.
This short, colorful picture book is perfect either as a family bedtime story at home, or for story time at school. With vivid illustrations and likable characters facing difficult times with dignity, this fun and educational children’s story book is excellent for students in kindergarten, first grade, second grade, and even third grade.
This short picture book is a sensitive, age-appropriate way to open the topics of poverty, childhood hunger and food insecurity; it also explores having empathy for others, and understanding that hard economic times can happen to any of us. It is a rewarding story to share at any time of year, though it may be especially fitting to explore in the lead-up to Thanksgiving.
