Two school friends do everything together, they swing together, they eat lunch together, they jump rope together, they sit together in class. You cannot separate Lily and Salma! Every day Lily brings a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch. Salma brings a hummus and pita sandwich. The girls eat their lunch and enjoy being together until the day Lily tells Salma that her sandwich smells "yucky". Salma is upset and tells Lily that her sandwich smells "yucky". The two friends stop talking, they stop hanging out together, and they stop sitting together at lunch. Soon the whole school hears about their fight and the other students take sides. Before long the students are all calling each other names, like "chick-pea brain" and "jelly head". The name calling gets worse. What will happen to the whole school? Can Salma and Lily fix their friendship? Check out The Sandwich Swap and see what happens. Queen Rania of Jordan wrote this book from memories of her childhood. She wants us all to know the story of Salma and Lily and think how things are in our own life. How can you make the world a better place?
