Tomatoes for Neela (Picture Book)

 


Publication date: August 31, 2021
Author: Padma Lakshmi
Illustrator: Juana Martinez-Neal

My Thoughts:
I grabbed this book sample at a children's book conference and I am just excited. I really admire Padma Lakshmi's point of view through her work, through her writing and even through her IG. She is about cooking with family, both here and not here. She is about enjoying fresh ingredients and passing that love on to her daughter. She is also about an international palette. In addition, she is a great writer.

Add to that the beautiful illustrations by Juana Martinez-Neal and this is a fresh picture book to watch out for. I am adding this to my foodie reading list. I just feel like cooking some tomatoes and picking some hot peppers in the yard now.
