The Great PB&J Plan
by Venita Ramanna


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 grandnephew. The child centred allegory sends a universal message that: “a caring heart and a curious mind is all that it takes to be helpful and kind.”
