review 1: This is a lovely picture book and I can see why it's been getting such acclaim. I loved the writing style, the quirky characters, and the beautiful artwork. The design quality is exceptional and the title is perfect. I'm interested in how the author "imagined" Julia Child's childhood and where she drew boundaries in her imaginings. She notes this at the start so readers know all the details aren't true. I wonder if parts of it were based on fact or if the whole story was imagined? I write about real people myself and this book left me wondering how far one can go into imagining aspects of a real person's life and still be true to the person. For example, was her friend real? Did she really cook French foods when she was a child?
