Have you ever wondered how food can bridge cultures and connect us to our roots? Join us as we uncover the delectable secrets of Henry's family heritage, where a simple school assignment turns into a magical culinary adventure. Inspired by his grandmother and the enchanting story "Plantains Go With Everything" by Lissette Norman, Henry embarks on a quest at the local library, leading him and his grandmother into a world where the aromas of plantains weave tales of tradition and family. As the magical journey unfolds, Henry discovers the flavors of his Haitian ancestry through the delicious dish with plantains prepared with love by his family.
