Growing up with a family chef, Julia had little reason to learn how to cook, but her tall stature and high energy level meant that she was always hungry. Julia was hungry for food and for adventure. On one of her career adventures, she met her husband and together they explored a wide range of foods around the world and moved to France, where, at 37 years old, Julia started taking cooking lessons and then went on to build her own culinary career teaching.
I am so impressed when a picture book can cover a person’s life without feeling too simplistic on one end or overly detailed and slow on the other. This book stricks that balance beautifully and is paired with bright and engaging illustrations that help keep the plot moving fast.
