Julia, Child by Kyo Maclear

3.0

Sweet as sugar. This is a story of two friends, sisters in the kitchen, who bake childhood innocence, marvel, and carefree spirit into their French recipes. This picture book ruminates on adulthood syndrome - - growing up and all the tragedy that goes with that painful process - - and how it appears to children, discovering your passion in life, having a closer-than-blood best friend, and the simple pleasures of cooking, eating, and sharing. Most importantly, Julie Morstad's illustrations are beautiful, complementary, delicate yet bold.
