Great way to celebrate what children are capable of!
This book is an explosion of colours and flavours. Based upon a family in Guyana it looks at some of their traditional cooking - including the Wiri Wiri mentioned in the title!
Faruq's grandma is always cooking up a storm for the family and he would love nothing more than to help. Trouble is he keeps being told that he should be studying to be a doctor rather than wasting his time thinking about food.
When he's out in the garden, gathering ingredients, one day he gets talking to the neighbour, who tells him that she taught his grandma everything she knows about cooking.
Suddenly Faruq has a secret ally and gets to learn all the recipes he desires - when Grandma is poorly one day, he really gets to show off his new skills.
A great little story for encouraging children to follow their dreams and desires.
The recipe for lime cookies, at the end, also sounds amazing and great to prompt a little baking session with your own little ones!
