Do you like cooking and books, but reading a cookbook is boring to you? Well, never fear! I have the perfect book for you! This book is called ‘Measuring Up.’ Made by Lily Lamotte, Ann Xu, and Sunmi. This is a delightful book and a great pick for all ages. A lot of readers can connect with this book, in fact I have read this amazing book to multiple kindergarteners, and they loved it. In this fascinating graphic novel twelve-year-old Cici has just moved from Taiwan to Seattle, and the only thing she wants more than to fit in at her new school is to celebrate her grandmother, A-ma's, seventieth birthday together. Cici cooks up a plan to bring A-ma to her by winning the grand prize in a kids’ cooking contest to pay for A-ma's plane ticket! There’s only one problem: Cici only knows how to cook Taiwanese food. And after her pickled cucumber debacle at lunch, she’s determined to channel her inner Julia Child (An American chef Cici finds out about.) Can Cici find a winning recipe to reunite with A-ma, a way to fit in with her new friends, and somehow find herself, too? Find out by reading Measuring Up today!
