Illustrated by
Joëlle Dreidemy.
Phoebe loves to eat interesting foods, and she worries that her picky-eater friend, Sage, is missing out. She starts a cooking club, but her aggressive attempts to change Sage upset him. Without being overly didactic, this story of friendship, individuality, and acceptance offers young readers a diverse cast of characters and a relatable, fixable dilemma. Halftone illustrations match the story's lighthearted tone.
