Her friends end up in a different class and start to bully her, so she becomes friends with the peers on her food level. The books discusses different social pressures and altering your personality to fit in.
Very relatable and fun twist on a relevant adolescence problems.

The story promotes the idea of trying new things and being open to different experiences. As a teacher, you can create a safe environment where students feel comfortable stepping outside their comfort zones, whether in trying new foods or exploring new ideas in discussions and projects.

The League of Picky Eaters by Stephanie V. W. Lucianovic (2021). The story follows Minerva, a 6th grader who has a reluctance to tasting new foods. Lucianovic illustrates the complexities of food aversions and the difficulties that children face when managing picky eating habits in a world that wants them to “just try it.“ The book demonstrates that picky eating is frequently more complex than it appears, sometimes connected to sensory issues.

“The League of Picky Eaters“ is a delightful and humorous tale that explores the challenges of being a selective eater. The story centers on a group of kids who form a secret club to navigate their shared food preferences and the social pressures that come with them.

“I thought about a steaming bowl full of short green beans, carrots, corn, red pepper, and lima beans. 'BLEAURRRRGAHHHHP!'“
