Stay for Dinner is a powerful story from multi-award-winning creators of The Boy Who Tried to Shrink His Name that celebrates culture and connection through food. 

Reshma loves dinnertime with her family. Her family eat with their hands – not just finger food type–eating, but hands-on squishy eating. When she’s invited to stay for dinner at her friends’ homes, she finds out that they all eat in different ways. Some go ting ting with their cutlery, and others go click clack with their chopsticks.

What will her friends say when they see her family eat with their hands?
