This deeply sensitive yet fun children\'s book covers the important topics of diversity, confronting our fears, and overcoming culture shock in a way kids would best understand.
The little brave girl ends up making new friends in America, acting as a source of inspiration for other scared students, and eventually building a new life away from her home country.
This amuses the other students at her new school, who get curious to learn more about her Nigerian culture.
All Olufunmilayo has to do is request her favorite foods and the Lunchbox hurls them.
The Lunchbox gives Olufunmilayo any enchantingly yummy Nigerian food she wants-from Jollof Rice, Chin Chin, Puff Puff, Fried Plantain, Dodo, Amala, to Suya, among other delicacies.
But with the help of a magical lunchbox, all these concerns are solved.
She misses her life in Nigeria, her friends, and especially her favorite Nigerian foods.
At first, Olufunmilayo feels out of place in America.
This is the experience of young Olufunmilayo as she confronts her fears and creates a sense of belonging in her new home, magically.
The transition is even more difficult for a little girl moving from Nigeria to the United States.
Moving to a new country where nothing resembles the culture from your native country is typically hard-and sometimes terrifying.
