{"product_id":"grandma-cho-cho-and-me","title":"Grandma, Cho Cho and Me","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Grandma, Cho Cho and Me , a young girl spends time with her grandmother and learns about the tradition of preparing large breakfasts. What begins as a simple family routine becomes an opportunity for the child to explore the historical, economic, and social circumstances that shaped her grandmother's life. Through conversations and shared experiences, she discovers that food traditions often reflect the realities of the time in which people lived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe story provides opportunities for students to examine how daily life has changed across generations. In many communities, particularly in rural areas, people performed physically demanding work in farming, fishing, forestry, mining, domestic service, and other labour-intensive occupations. A substantial breakfast often provided the energy needed to work long hours before the next meal. Food availability, household income, seasonal work, and limited access to transportation or refrigeration also influenced what families ate and when they ate it. Large breakfasts were often a practical response to economic realities rather than simply a personal preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe text also explores the social role of meals within families and communities. Gathering around the breakfast table provided opportunities for family members to share stories, discuss the day's work, strengthen relationships, and pass on traditions and values. As the protagonist learns about her grandmother's experiences, she develops a deeper understanding of how family customs are shaped by history, culture, work, and community life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy connecting personal family stories to larger historical and social contexts, Grandma, Cho Cho and Me helps students understand that everyday traditions often carry important lessons about resilience, community, culture, and changing ways of life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46126631845948,"sku":null,"price":21.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/3677\/6508\/files\/7233596606_140.jpg?v=1788529918","url":"https:\/\/nssbb.ednet.ns.ca\/fr\/products\/grandma-cho-cho-and-me","provider":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
