Rotten Roti - Ritika Mahtani

A school cafeteria is a breeding ground for anxiety and embarrassment - especially for first generation immigrants. Whether it be the smell, the look, or the oddity of a meal - most immigrants have felt a moment of unease around their cultural food. Rotten Roti is about a first generation Indian girl named Karina who is starting the third grade and can''t wait to be reunited with her friends after summer holidays. She is particularly excited to get her very first locker. Everything is going well until the night before her first day of school. This book has a powerful message about embracing who you are and recognizing that, just like foods around the world, humans around the world share more similarities than differences.
