This is an awesome book that I would like to share. It's called This Child, Every Child: A book about the world's children, by David J. Smith, illustrated by Shelagh Armstrong. It shows kids' stories and how they are different, around the world. Each story makes you want to learn more about other kids, and what their lives are like, what culture they are.

Pulparindo tingles on your tongue: it starts out sticky sweet then as you chew saltiness hits that back or your throat before giving way to an all-out blast of chili. That’s my description. My kids’ reaction went more like this, “Mom, I like….wait…I need to get a drink, that’s hot!”

 

Even though the package said it plainly: “Hot and salted tamarind pulp candy” or “Dulce de tamarindo picante y salado,” my kids were surprised by the heat in this Mexican candy.
