From the Author
I had so much fun writing The Big Buna Bash, and I want to share it to inspire cultural pride in kids who might feel that they don't fit in because of their differences.
I believe in diversity and inclusion.... that's why I wrote The Big Buna Bash!
Sara C. Arnold is just a woman who loves coffee, especially buna! Born in the U.S., Sara immigrated to Israel in 1981, where she teaches English in Jerusalem. She hopes this book will encourage children to understand and respect people different from themselves. "The Big Buna Bash" is Sara's first publication.
