Marga,
I was going to recommend The Only One Club, but, while I believe in books as an
educational tool, in this case a simple explanation will be enough for a 5
years old.
I live in the South where we are a small minority. The schools cannot
accommodate children with food allergies, diabetes or those who keep the
Kashrut laws.The child will be happy to know that, when his classmates stand in
line for lunch, he can sit and enjoy the lunch that Mon made just for him. I
like Rachel’s idea for the mother to use Tough questions Jews ask to help the
parents better articulate their observance.
Shabbat shalom,
Amalia Warshenbrot

Marga,
Here is a picture book which may be helpful, although it doesn't specifically
mention kashrut.
Duck for Turkey Day by Jacqueline Jules
From the author's website:
It's almost Thanksgiving, and Tuyet is excited about the holiday and the
vacation from school. There's just one problem: her Vietnamese American family
is having duck for Thanksgiving dinner -- not turkey! Nobody has duck for
Thanksgiving -- what will her teacher and the other kids think?
To her surprise, Tuyet enjoys her yummy Thanksgiving dinner anyhow -- and an
even bigger surprise is waiting for her at school on Monday. Dinners from roast
beef to lamb to enchiladas adorned the Thanksgiving tables of her classmates,
but the celebrations all had something in common -- family!
I was sold on it when I saw that one of the classmates mentioned having tofu
for Thanksgiving.
