The Magic Lunchbox
Mango and Sprint are preparing for ‘big school’. Grandma comes to visit and gives them a lunchbox… but it’s no ordinary lunchbox!
The story
The Magic Lunchbox is a fun, captivating story about packing a healthy lunchbox, especially for children in their transition to primary school.
Central Coast author Angela Barrett and illustrator David Walsh have created a delightful storybook to inspire and delight children ages 4–6 years old. In the story, Grandma enlists the help of a magic lunchbox to show Mango and Sprint which foods to pack for school. It supports children to understand everyday healthy food choices and “the magic made, when you put good food inside.”
