A heartwarming chapter book about bullying, diversity, and being proud of who you are.
In The Case of Makhan Singh's Smelly Lunch, eight-year-old Makhan starts a new school, and he wants nothing more than to fit in. But on his very first day, lunchtime turns into a nightmare. As soon as he opens his lunchbox filled with his favorite Indian food, a class bully starts teasing him about his smelly lunch. Makhan feels embarrassed and wishes he had a normal sandwich like everyone else.
With the help of a new friend and a little courage, Makhan learns that what makes him different also makes him special. When he finally stands up to the bully, he discovers that being true to himself can inspire others too.
