Summer Is for Cousins | Rajani LaRocca

Pickpick

#CoverStories Day 27: This story definitely reminds me of summers either spent with family in the US or in the Philippines. I especially liked this statement: “We go to a house that‘s not any of ours, near the ocean and a #lake.”

Tomatoes for Neela | Padma Lakshmi
post image
Pickpick

3.5 ⭐This is a wonderful book. It‘s meant more for about second grade than for reading nightly at bed. It is a little long, but it needs to be long for the purpose of the story. I really like how in the very end, not only does the author give her recipes for sauce and for chutney there‘s also information about tomatoes, information about farmworkers and a note from the author themselves. I can picture Padma in my head while I‘m waiting this.

LibrarianRyan Whether I picture her because the illustrator does a fantastic job or because of the words and having seen her for years on top Chef. I do think this book is uniquely her and it does work. Do I think she could be a frequent picture book writer… Depends. I would need to see more work to make a better opinion. 2mo
mhillis I used this book as part of a discussion event on food culture with adult English language learners. The illustrations are beautiful aren‘t they? 2mo
LibrarianRyan @mhillis that‘s cool. 2mo
