🌟 Recommendation Details
Salma and Lily are best friends. They do everything together, from drawing to using the swings to even jumping rope! At lunch, Lily always has a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and Salma always has a hummus sandwich. However, Lily and Salma have always thought that the other's sandwich looks gross. One day, Lily blurted out that she thought that Salma's sandwich was gross. Salma then recoiled by telling Lily that her sandwich looked gross. They broke into an all out fight, and they didn't sit next to each other a lunch the next day. Other children were picking sides with hummus or PB&J, and the children started shouting insults at each other. Then, one kid shouted, "FOOD FIGHT!!!!" After the fight, Lily and Salma had to clean up the cafeteria, and had to meet with the principal. The next day, they sat next to each other at lunch, and Lily had a great idea. They would swap sandwiches! They took a bite of the other's sandwich, and they were DELICIOUS! They saw the principal again, but this time, they had an idea: a sandwich-fest with sandwiches from all over the world. Reason for recommendation: Winner of the New York Times Bestseller.

Lily and Salma are best friends. They like doing all the same things, and they always eat lunch together. Lily eats peanut butter and Salma eats hummus-but what's that between friends? It turns out, a lot. Before they know it, a food fight breaks out. Can Lily and Salma put aside their differences? Or will a sandwich come between them? The smallest things can pull us apart-until we learn that friendship is far more powerful than difference. In a glorious three-page gatefold at the end of the book, Salma, Lily, and all their classmates come together in the true spirit of tolerance and acceptance.
