This book was written Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan and local author, Kelly DiPucchio. It is based on an experience the Queen had growing up when she had a pita sandwich with hummus, while her best friend had peanut butter and jelly. The girls in the story are best friends do everything together at school. They secretly don’t like the looks of each others’ sandwiches they have every day at lunch. One day, they admit their feelings about the sandwiches and it creates a rift in their friendship. Soon the entire school joins in the controversy and takes sides with each girl. After a trip to the principal’s office, the girls make up and try each others’ sandwiches and are both pleasantly surprised they like them after all. Recommended for children in elementary school.
