Key Selling Points: A great conversation starter about why hunger exists in North American homes, and what we can do about it as a community. Dian Day and Amanda White are key members of the HungryStories team, a group of activist-scholars who write, teach, and advocate on the topic of food insecurity. The Hungry Stories Team has members across Canada, in Nova Scotia, Ontario, and British Columbia. The protagonist Mila loves drawing her playful comic book character Shy Cat and illustrates key moments of their story as the book goes on. Appealing to young readers who are artists themselves/interested in creating comics. The story features a "Stuff the Bus" challenge = a popular food drive idea that many schools participate in and readers will connect with. The authors were inspired to write a book that took a more nuanced look at food insecurity, and how it can't be solved simply by food banks. Both a thoughtful book about food insecurity and a heartwarming and entertaining story about best friendship, neighbourhood cats, and growing up!.
