The Spice Box is one of those books that feels like a warm hug, wrapping you up in family, tradition, and the beauty of shared memories. The story follows Rishi, who’s excited to cook curry with his dad using their family’s spice box when his grandma arrives from India. But this spice box isn’t just filled with fragrant spices—it holds the history and stories of Rishi’s ancestors, passed down through generations. When Rishi accidentally drops the box, he finds the courage to set things right, drawing strength from the memories of those who came before him.

What I love about this book is how it shows that food isn’t just about flavors; it’s about the people and stories we carry with us. The way this family’s history is passed down through their spice box is such a beautiful reminder of how traditions live on in the little things we do together. The Spice Box is a heartwarming celebration of family, culture, and the special connections that bring us closer to those we love.
