Ka’amala’s Greens is a vibrant, heartwarming story about food, family, and the beautiful magic that happens when cultures come together in the kitchen.
 
When eleven-year-old Ka’amala—bright, curious, and always ready to learn—spends the day with her neighbor Mrs. Harris, she expects a quiet afternoon. But when Mama Cherie joins them, the visit quickly turns into an unforgettable cooking adventure. The women decide to try something bold: blending their traditions to create a brand-new dish—one that’s full of flavor, memory, and heart.
 
As ingredients are prepared and spices begin to sizzle, the kitchen fills with laughter, storytelling, and the kind of wisdom only shared across generations. Tales of heritage, strength, and community bubble up between stirring spoons and shared smiles. What begins as a simple meal becomes something much more—a joyful expression of identity, history, and love.
 
This story isn’t just about food—it’s about the bonds we build when we open our homes, share our stories, and honor where we come from. Through playful dialogue, rich cultural detail, and a generous sprinkle of humor, Ka’amala’s Greens explores themes of friendship, family pride, and the joy of discovering what we can create when we work together.
 
At the end of the book, readers will be invited into the kitchen themselves, with a real recipe inspired by the story—and room to make it their own.
Perfect for ages 5 to 10, this book is a warm celebration of cross-cultural connection, homegrown wisdom, and the memories we make over a shared meal. Whether in a classroom, around a table, or curled up at bedtime, Ka’amala’s Greens reminds us that sometimes, the most powerful stories begin with open hearts… and a little bit of spice.
 
Perfect For
Family reading nights, classroom storytelling, and anyone who believes culture should be passed down with laughter, flavor, and love.
