If you discover, as we have, that some stories taste best when shared with others, then all the better.” While the story contains no true knowledge of (the real) Juia Child and should be taken with a grain of salt and perhaps even a generous pat of butter, we hope that you will find something here to savor. “You are cordially invited to this tale for all ages about a child named Julia.

Check out this book if you get a chance! It's entertaining for people of all ages. I've only read Maclear's children's books, but I liked them so much that I went ahead and bought her two adult works of fiction: The Letter Opener and Stray Love. I am a huge fan of Kyo Maclear she's got fab style and wonderful ideas! I was equally impressed with Julie Morstad's illustrations–they were very retro and chic. Reflecting on how they don't want to end up like most adults, 'who never watched cartoons and only read biographies', they devise a way to mix the 'art of childhood' into their dishes, and thus help adults remember to lighten up. They especially love cooking and creating new, interesting recipes. Julia and her friend Simca love French food. I was so tempted to use a 'like buttah' Saturday Night Live meme from the 'Coffee Talk' skit, but decided against it. This was the cutest book ever! It was worth the wait, and probably one of the handful of books that I've ever preordered.
