Lee\u00a0& Low Books<\/a>\u00a0sent me Hot, Hot Roti for Dada-Ji <\/a><\/em>to review. \u00a0Lee & Low Books<\/a> is \u00a0an independent children’s book publisher focusing on diversity. \u00a0It is their company’s mission to meet the need for \u00a0stories that all<\/em> children can identify with and enjoy.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When my four year old son was getting ready to take his afternoon nap in his new bed that my husband and I had just got all together, I thought it would make a good story to read. \u00a0I think as parents we should introduce diversity early in our childrens’ lives. \u00a0If they know from an early age that people are different, then there will be no big deal and acceptance will be natural. \u00a0I think it is important for young children to know people come in different colors, follow different religions and are of different cultures. \u00a0I have always had books that showed diversity to my children from the earliest stages, there are many board books in my house that introduce diversity. \u00a0When Lee & Low Books<\/a> suggested this title, I was intrigued.<\/p>\n This book follows a little boy Aneel who is Indian-American. \u00a0His grandparents come to \u00a0live with him, and his grandfather tells many stories of when he was young. \u00a0There is a nice family dynamic in this book where the family works together making a meal from Dada-ji’s youth. \u00a0It introduces us to Indian words and foods and shows that even though families may be different cultures there are many things we all have in common. \u00a0It is \u00a0a delightful story about how when Dada-ji was a young boy he ate Hot, Hot Roti and it made him have supernatural powers where he could tie cobras in a knot and wrestle water buffalo. \u00a0 Aneel is curious to know if Dada-ji ate the Roti today if he would have the same powers so they set out to find out.<\/p>\n Ethan and I enjoyed the book that was delightful to read and showed the love of a family through generations.<\/p>\n Lee & Low\u00a0Books<\/a> is sponsoring a give-away of a brand new copy of Hot, Hot Roti for Dada-Ji <\/a>for one of Mommy Rambling’s readers.<\/p>\n Mandatory Entry<\/strong>– Visit the Lee & Low Website<\/a>\u00a0and tell me what other book you like. \u00a0Leave your choice in a comment on this blog post. \u00a0Please remember this is the mandatory entry, if not completed no extra entries will count and will be deleted.<\/p>\n Extra Entries<\/strong>:\u00a0(make sure you leave a separate comment for each entry of they will not count)<\/p>\n 1.
