Creativity & Curiosity

How to Feed Your Parents Written by Ryan Miller & illustrated by Hatem Aly

Matilda Macaroni loves to try new foods, whether it’s her grandma’s jambalaya or sushi at a sleepover. But, in this fun picture book, it’s the mom and dad—not the child—who only eat delivered pizza with pepperoni, burgers from a bag, or noodles from a box. Eager to experience new flavors, Matilda secretly sets out to learn how to cook, satisfy her hunger for something more, and expand her parents’ palates, too. There’s also a Macaroni family recipe for quiche that young cooks can try with their families!
