Julia, Child releases today! While this picture book contains no true knowledge of (the real) Julia Child and should be taken with a grain of salt and perhaps even a generous pat of butter, we hope that you will find something here to savor. If you discover, as we have, that some stories taste best when shared with others, then all the better.
Julia, Child
Written by Kyo Maclear
Illustrated by Julie Morstad
Hardcover | 32 Pages | Ages 5-9
ISBN: 978-1-77049-449-7
Julia and Simca are two young friends who agree that you can never use too much butter-and that it is best to be a child forever. Sharing a love of cooking and having no wish to turn into big, busy people who worry too much and dawdle too little, they decide to create a feast for growing and staying young. A playful, scrumptious celebration of the joy of eating, the importance of never completely growing up, and mastering the art of having a good time, Julia, Child is a fictional tale loosely inspired by the life and spirit of the very real Julia Child.
