 . It makes her feel closer to her paati who lives far away in India. On Sa
 turdays\, Neela and Amma go to the green market and today they are buying 
 tomatoes to make Paati’s famous sauce. But first\, Neela needs to learn 
 about all the different kinds of tomatoes they can pick from. And as Neela
  and Amma cook together\, they find a way for Paati to share in both the l
 ove and the flavors of the day.\n\n\nAuthor Padma Lakshmi takes young read
 ers on an intergenerational journey full of delicious flavors and fun food
  facts that celebrates a family’s treasured recipes and illustrator Juan
 a Martinez-Neal brings this circle of women to life with vivid detail and 
 warmth. Tomatoes for Neela lovingly affirms how we can connect to other cu
 ltures and build communities through food.\n\n\nDates and Time:\n\n\nTeach
