A Geisel Honor–winning series! Join Gigi as she tries natto, a
traditional Japanese food, in this exciting and engaging Level
Three I Can Read book by acclaimed author and illustrator Melissa
Iwai. Intergenerational relationships, Japanese culture, and social
and emotional learning are highlighted in this sweet biracial
story, perfect for sharing with children 3 to 6. Ohayo! It’s
breakfast time and Gigi can’t wait to make her favorite
meal—Peanut Butter Toast. Yummy! But Ojiji doesn’t like peanut
butter. How can anyone NOT like peanut butter? Ojiji prefers
Japanese foods—like natto, made from fermented soybeans. Will
Gigi learn to love a new breakfast treat? This story highlights the
close relationship of Gigi and her grandfather and the importance
of trying new things! This exciting and engaging I Can Read series
is brought to you by author-illustrator Melissa Iwai, whose popular
books include Soup Day and Dumplings for Lili.
Gigi and Ojij: Food for Thought is a Level Three I Can Read
book. Level 3 includes many fun subjects kids love to read
about on their own. Themes include friendship, adventure,
historical fiction, and science. Level 3 books are written for
early independent readers. They include some challenging words and
more complex themes and stories. The story contains several
Japanese words and a glossary of definitions. Praise for Gigi and
Ojiji: "Gigi crafts her Japanese American identity in this
Âenchanting early reader. The cuteness, inclusivity, and
cross-cultural problem-solving represented will have young
Âreaders coming back again and again. A must-buy." —School
Library Journal (starred review) "The text is well supported
by the endearing illustrations, which capture all of Gigi’s big
emotions and depict her as a biracial child, with a white father
and Japanese mother." —Booklist (starred review) "An
affirming option in the quickly diversifying field of early-reader
books." —Kirkus A 2023 Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor title El dÃa
