Recipes of Belonging – Celebrate Refugee Week with Us

This week (15–21 June) marks Refugee Week, with the theme Finding Freedom: Diversity in Community. Reading books and sharing stories help children build empathy and understanding by sharing diverse stories and experiences—and we’d love to extend that spirit through food!

We’re inviting families to share a favourite recipe that holds meaning in your home. We’ll compile these into a Recipes of Belonging book, available to borrow from the library or purchase by donation. Proceeds will support the Australian Refugee Association.

How to contribute:

• Send a photo or scan of your recipe to: dl.1226.library@schools.sa.edu.au.     

• Include: your child’s name, class, and the recipe source (cookbook/chef)

• Optional: Add a short note about why this recipe is special to your family

We can’t wait to see (and taste!) the stories you share.

Warm wishes,Krysten & Emily – Library Educators
