Making a sandwich is fun and easy! And Rae knows just how to do it. The bread is like the parents, it keeps the sandwich safe and happy. The turkey is the love, the lettuce is the fun. But every time Rae adds an ingredient, it disappears, and she soon realizes there is a sandwich-stealing thief intent on eating her creation!
Will Rae ever get to eat her lunch? Suddenly making a sandwich isn’t so easy after all!
When Lorena graduated years ago with a BFA in Graphic Design and Painting, she never imagined she’d become an Information Architect in high-tech. She thought her creativity was lost until she was rescued by an Australian Shepherd named Phebe. Inspired by Phebe’s antics, Lorena started drawing again, leading to the creation of Phebe-n-Me, a t-shirt company that eventually blossomed into a children’s book!

My Review
I received a copy of How to Make a Sandwich for an honest review. What follows is my opinion and mine alone. I was not compensated for this review.
How to make a sandwich as an illustrated children’s book about a little girl who teaches her pets the importance of a sandwich. A sandwich is like a family. They can be different, but all of them have love.
The artwork is reminiscent to the children’s books I remember as a child. It brought back great memories snuggling to my grandmother as she reads aloud. The story is sweet and brings more than one lesson to the reader: love is the most important part of family and forgiveness can be an ingredient to the sandwich.
I highly recommend this book for families with little ones. I plan on getting a hard copy for my sister-in-law and her child.
