By Joseph Aguila

Eli is a 5-year old boy. He is getting ready for his first day of Kindergarten when he finds out that his Lola (which means grandma in Tagalog) has cooked him lumpia for his school lunch. Eli never thought he would bring Filipino food to his American school, and now he is worried about what his friends at school will think when they see his lunch. How will Eli handle this dilemma?
