Samira’s Awful Lunch – Sometimes viewing what others have makes one more appreciative of our own things. Another great Creative Commons book from Pratham and Storyweaver.
This is a Level 2 book from Pratham’s Storyweaver aimed to children who can recognize familiar words and can read new words with help. The book has minimum amount of words and lots of pictures that illustrate what is being said on the story.

Sample Page from Samira’s Awful Lunch:
Samira made a face when she opened her tiffin box and thought,
‘Who wants to eat parathas and brinjal curry?
Not I.’ Last week Amma had given her noodles with capsicum and carrots.
“The noodles are squiggly and they look like worms, ”
she said when she went back home.
