Some families gather for big dinners, but in my house we feast at breakfast! As Grandma and I cook our favorite Jamaican dishes, I learn why that is.The girl in this story and her grandmother are making breakfast for the whole family! Jamaican favourites like ackee and saltfish, fried dumplings and delicious cho cho are on the menu today. As they chop and stir, and the food simmers and sizzles, the girl has one big question for Grandma why does their family eat such BIG breakfasts?Through the process of cooking traditional foods, and through Grandmas stories of life in Jamaica before their family emigrated to Canada, the girl learns more about the historical, economic and social reasons for their big breakfasts and she explores her culture as someone not born in Jamaica, but still connected to the island.Grandma, Cho Cho and Me is inspired by the authors childhood experiences born to Jamaican migrant parents, and beautifully illustrated by Paulica Santos. Memories of tropical landscapes, gardenfresh greens, and mouthwatering meals overflow in Paulica Santoss lush, mixedmedia illustrations.Key Text FeaturesillustrationsCorrelates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language ArtsCCSS.ELALITERACY.RL.K.1With prompting and support, ask and answer questions about key details in a text.CCSS.ELALITERACY.RL.K.3With prompting and support, identify characters, settings, and major events in a story.CCSS.ELALITERACY.RL.K.4Ask and answer questions about unknown words in a...
