Summary
Julia and Simca are two young friends who agree that you can never use too much butter-and that it is best to be a child forever. Sharing a love of cooking and having no wish to turn into big, busy people who worry too much and dawdle too little, they decide to create a feast for growing and staying young. A playful, scrumptious celebration of the joy of eating, the importance of never completely growing up and mastering the art of having a good time, Julia, Child is a fictional tale loosely inspired by the life and spirit of the very real Julia Child-a story that should be taken with a grain of salt and a generous pat of butter.

Published Reviews
Booklist Review: "Julia and her best friend, Simca, adore cooking so much that nothing will stop them from having a joyous time in the kitchen. They cultivate happiness from food wherever they go, and when they notice that the adults around them are full of worries and grumpiness, they decide to use their culinary talents to solve the problem. They prepare a feast cooked extra slowly to bring out the flavor of not hurrying, and the grown-ups greedily gobble it up. So greedily, in fact, that Julia and Simca decide to pen a cookbook, Mastering the Art of Childhood, to help adults reclaim the joy of youth. Morstad's illustrations consist mostly of stylized figures in delicate black outlines on crisp white pages, but Julia and Simca, as well as all their delectables, are full of rich color. While this picture book is not about Julia Child per se, it's impossible not to see the iconic chef in Morstad's depiction of a lanky girl in a neck scarf and curly brown coif, encouraging everyone to love food.--Hunter, Sarah Copyright 2014 Booklist"
