The Great PB&J Plan
Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were five-year old Triyen's favourite snack - gooey and salty and sticky and sweet. Nothing was better for a hungry tummy! So when Triyen saw a man who seemed to be down on his luck, it sparked the idea to make a PB&J especially for him. And this led to a bigger idea to spread even more kindness...

This charming rhyming book is based on the true story of the author's grand-nephew. The child-centered allegory sends a universal message that a caring heart and a curious mind is all that it takes to be helpful and kind.

"My students had the special opportunity to hear this story before it was even published—and they loved it! The rhyming captured their imaginations, and after the author’s visit, many of them were inspired to start writing their own rhyming stories. It turned into a fantastic learning experience that sparked creativity and gave them a hands-on look at poetry and the writing process."
