Synopsis:

At Michelle Obama Academy, International Day is approaching, and for Kyndle, it's usually a day of celebration. But when his teacher asks the class to share their cultural food, Kyndle draws a blank. The delicious dishes he loves – the comforting mac and cheese, the flavorful collard greens – don't seem to have a clear country of origin. This simple question ignites a personal quest for Kyndle, leading him on an unexpected journey into his family's history. Through conversations with his loving family, Kyndle discovers the profound historical significance embedded within the soul food he cherishes. He learns how the ingenuity and resilience of his ancestors shaped these dishes, connecting him to a powerful and often overlooked narrative. "IDK!" follows Kyndle's heartwarming exploration as he unravels the mystery behind soul food's unique place in American history. Ultimately, the lessons he learns about his heritage become the heart of his International Day speech, offering a moving and insightful perspective on culture, history, and the unifying power of food. Complete with discussion questions and Kyndle's favorite family recipes, this engaging story is a valuable resource for educators and a captivating read for middle-grade to young adult readers seeking a deeper understanding of American history and cultural identity.
