BOOK REVIEW: HAPPY NATIONAL COOKING DAY!

​I’m all for this holiday! When you take a break from cooking today, give this picture book a read.

​TITLE: EMILY SNOOK THE WORLD’S SMALLEST COOK

AUTHOR: Laura Bower

ILLUSTRATOR: Rekha Salin

PUBLISHER: Gnome Road Publishing

OPENING LINES:
A fierce little girl known as Emily Snook
had dreams of becoming a prize-winning cook.
Her passion for cooking began at age two
while working with Grandpa to make her first stew.

This sweet picture book combines a healthy serving of a classic underdog story with a dollop of an intergenerational theme and a contemporary twist of a kids’ cooking competition . Kids will cheer on Emily Snook as she competes against the older, “more advanced” competitors and attempts to prove that even the smallest cook has a chance to win the big prize. Laura Bower’s heartfelt story of perseverance, determination, and resiliency is told in perfect rhyme that kids will love. Rekha Salin’s expressive illustrations are inviting, inclusive, and charming. This book is a winner!
