Best friends Sofia and Maddi play at the park and
commiserate over their little brothers. One day Maddi invites Sofia over. When
they go to the fridge for a snack, Sofia is shocked to see that it's empty apart
from a bottle of milk. After promising not to tell, Sofia attempts to share the
contents of her fridge with her friend. However, she soon discovers that however
healthy fish and eggs may be, they aren’t very portable in her backpack.
How can
she help her friend without revealing her secret? As it turns out, some secrets
aren’t meant to be kept.
Great for any age, Maddi’s Fridge (written by Lois Brandt and illustrated by Vin
Vogel) reminds us that hunger can be present where we least expect it. But it
also emphasizes the importance of true friendship. When friends are
hurting, we shouldn't stay silent.
