An international family dinner menu inspired by the children’s book Saffron Ice Cream by Rashin Kheiriyeh.
Our Family Dinner Book Club theme for the year is Celebrations! This month we’re celebrating National Ice Cream Month with Saffron Ice Cream by Rashin Kheiriyeh. To accompany this themed dinner menu, Growing Book by Book has a reading list of additional books. Sunny Day Family shares a selection of crafts to help celebrate.
Saffron Ice Cream is a picture book about a young girl whose family moves from Iran to Brooklyn, and all the differences between the two places. The main character, Rashin, misses her former home and notices many differences between the beach in Iran and the beach at Coney Island. She eventually sees some similarities and begins to believe she’ll enjoy her new home.
Our family dinner book club menu this month includes favorite dishes from both Iran and Coney Island.
