A CALIBA GOLDEN POPPY AWARD FINALIST - A father and son share family stories through a spice box, handed down from generation to generation, in this tender picturebook.
Rishi's grandma arrives from India today, and he longs to cook curry alongside his Dad using the delicious flavors from his family's spice box. But this spice box is more than just fragrant spices in shades of gold and ruby. This spice box holds memories that are passed down from one generation to the next, as each found their place in this wide world. When Rishi drops the box that holds the family's heart and history, he draws courage and meaning from their treasured past to set things right.Author Biography
