In this delightful story by author Maitha Al Khayat, a young Emirati girl named Shamsa is very hesitant to try sushi for the first time. Her wise grandmother helps her overcome this apprehension by cleverly comparing the unfamiliar Japanese ingredients to beloved, traditional Emirati foods. She likens the seaweed wrap to vine leaves and the spicy wasabi to a familiar pickle, making the new dish seem less strange and more exciting. This book beautifully explores themes of cultural curiosity, trying new things, and the special bond between a grandmother and her granddaughter.
