When Carla brings weird sandwiches to school, her classmates have plenty to say about them. " That' s sick!" says Leslie. " That' s disgusting!" says Natie. But Carla thinks otherwise.
" It' s unique. It' s creative." Just like Carla. Although she is teased and even ignored by her classmates, Carla' s strong inner sense of uniqueness eventually wins them over.
Wacky sandwiches, wacky illustrations and kid-true dialogue make this book' s message of acceptance, tolerance and the importance of individuality extremely palatable. And who knows? Carla' s Sandwich may even help parents with that ever present dilemma—what to pack for school lunch!
