Why read it?

1 author picked Maddi's Fridge as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love this story in part because it deals with some messy realities. Maddi is ashamed that her family doesn’t have enough food to eat. When she reveals this to Sofia, she makes her promise to keep it a secret.

Sofia is now caught between trying to help Maddi and keeping her promise. This sort of ethical dilemma is all too real for many children. Sofia has to figure out what the truly kind act is in this situation. 

From Naomi's list on raising kind kids.
