Shirley J. Juvenile Non-Fiction Julia Child, Her life and her cookery
Who Was Julia Child? (Part of the Who Was? series of 213 books) by Geoff Edgers
I am such a fan of Julia Child. The more I learn about her life, the more I want to know. This book geared to 8-12 year olds is exceptionally well done. Geoff Edgers did his research on her and presents it in such a delightful way. Each book I have read on her presents new information and this little gem delivers. So much good information and background showing you how Julia went from a child in a well to do family in California to the world famous author of several cook books particularly her most famous, "Mastering the Art of French Cooking," international t.v. star of her own shows and documentaries as well as world traveler, fluent multi-linguist and graduate of the Cordon Bleu in France. Just a delight. I recommend this book to the 8-12 set on up it is a delightful introduction to the energetic force that was Julia Child.
