ISBN-13: 9781770494497 Publisher: Tundra Book Group gtin13: 9781770494497 Synopsis: 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 -- a story that should be taken with a grain of salt and a generous pat of butter. Item Weight: 17.4 Oz Reviews: Praise for Kyo Maclear "Knowledge of Virginia Woolf and her painter-sister Vanessa Bell is unnecessary; this works beautifully as a bad-day/bad-mood or animal-transformation tale, while readers who know actual depression will find it handled with tenderly forceful aplomb." -- Starred review, Kirkus Reviews ( Virginia Wolf ) "Parents will enjoy sharing this book with their sometimes 'wolfish' children." -- Starred review, School Library Journal ( Virginia Wolf ) ". . . an ambitious story about girlish blues, sisterly differences and the healing power of art . . ." -- New York Times ( Virginia Wolf ) "While some picture-book tales have difficulty promoting the 'different can be good' message without slipping into deep didacticism, Maclear's text feels nearly effortless. The inanimate-object identification also pairs brilliantly with Arsenault's melding of mixed media and digital art." -- Starred review, Kirkus Reviews ( Spork ), PRAISE FOR Kyo Maclear: "Knowledge of Virginia Woolf and her painter-sister Vanessa Bell is unncessary; this works beautifully as a bad-day/bad-mood or animal-transformation tale, while readers who know actual depression will find it handled with tenderly forceful aplomb." - Starred review, Kirkus Reviews ( Virginia Wolf ) "Parents will enjoy sharing this book with their sometimes 'wolfish' children." - Starred review, School Library Journal ( Virigina Wolf ) ". . . an ambitious story about girlish blues, sisterly differences and the healing power of art . . ." - New York Times ( Virigina Wolf ) "While some picture-book tales have difficulty promoting the 'different can be good' message without slipping into deep didacticism, Maclear's text feels nearly effortless.
