Read the world to change the world! In this artful picture book, picky eater Minh goes on a fantastical journey through the mythology and agriculture of rice. Originally published in Vietnam by the nonprofit Room to Read, it has been beautifully revised for this global edition. “I will not eat rice!” is Minh’s constant dinnertime refrain. But one fateful night, an unusual event unfolds. A trio of talking grains of rice leads Minh on an otherworldly adventure where he must complete a magic mission before he can return home. Will this fantastical journey help our picky-eating hero finally have a change of heart? A modern reimagining of a Vietnamese folktale, this enchanting story overflows with delight and wisdom. Follow Minh on a spellbinding trek that beautifully illustrates the age-old process of growing and harvesting rice—and the limitless power of the ancient grain. Perfect for: Anyone who loves rice in all its many forms! Caregivers and educators in search of books for picky eaters AAPI audiences and anyone who loves Vietnamese culture, from cuisine to art to mythology Eco-conscious readers and anyone interested in sustainability  Fans of Room to Read, non-profit book initiatives, and global children's literature
