The Blue Bowl. Flo Leung. 2024. 32 pages. [Source: Library] [picture book] [3 stars]
First sentence: Delicious smells waft from the kitchen.
Premise/plot: A young boy, Max, loves to eat. He doesn't just love food from his own ethnic background--the food his parents and grandparents love, love, love to make. He likes all sorts of flavors. He is a little shy about voicing exactly what he wants for his special birthday dinner, but, all is well--mostly.
My thoughts: This one was okay. The book celebrates food, culture, and family. It is also a "birthday" themed picture book.
