some carrots, and an apple. Once a week she tucks in a slice of her
special lemon pound cake. Rafael saw Kevin, a new kid in his class, sneak
his lunch bag from underneath his desk and tuck it in his backpack. But
how can he do something about the theft without picking a fight? Inspired
by his mother's advice to “Use your mouth before your fists,” Rafael bides
his time, but other kids' lunches are disappearing,too. On an errand
with his mom, Rafael sees Kevin carrying a bundle of laundry into a
motel room, and his mom tells him Kevin's family might be one of
the families who lost their homes in the recent wildfires. Rafael
rethinks his anger. The next day, instead of accusing Kevin, Rafael
invites him to share his lunch, letting Kevin know he's been caught, but
offering friendship as well as lunch.
