Sing a Song of Tuna Fish by Esme Raji Codell

From chapters.ca:
Like any fifth grader, Esme Raji Codell spends her days at her school, in her neighbourhood, and with her family. But this small world provides rich material for these hilarious, moving, and engrossing stories. Esme tells us about the night she and her mother became egg vigilantes against an illegally parked car; her freewheeling first school, where kids sat on sofas instead of at desks and could choose disco dancing instead of math; and her dangerous neighbourhood, which her father made seem friendly and wondrous. In this childhood memoir, Esme demonstrates her gift for making the ordinary extraordinary, and the unusual familiar.
