Shirley J. Juvenile Non-Fiction Julia Child - a biography for youngsters
Julia Child: An Extraordinary Life in Words and Pictures by Erin Hagar 160 pages
Short and sweet but a wonderful biography on the absolutely amazing life of a phenomenal lady. This book shows the reader, that while she was a tremendous cook, she was also a down to earth fun person who knew how to joke, have a good time, enjoy food and festivity with family and friends who loved people, cultures and learning. I loved how this book shares Julia's skill set of mastering the French language and French cooking while also letting the reader see other accomplishments she achieved such as working with top secrets during WWII, working in Ceylon, China and France, her ability to connect with people from all walks of life. Julia Child was a ball of energy throughout her life. She was well organized, always striving to do her best at whatever she set her mind to and totally devoted to the love of her life, Paul Child. A lovely book and great introduction to the life of a great lady. I recommend this to anyone of any age who delights in all things, Julia.
