Synopsis

📕 #2 ~ A Sweet Book Using Food to See Life in Recipes that Every Classroom Needs. Meet Sous Chef. She knows that food brings people together, so she compares recognizable school age hurdles to recipes for success, so small issues don't spoil the day.

Sous helps:

🍪 a shy classmate

🍪 a classmate who thinks he runs too slow

🍪 by playing a pretend grocery game at the top of a “mountain”

🍪 & soon the children no longer perceive small issues as looming obstacles

Pretend play comes naturally to children. When young readers use their imagination alongside yummy words & a flavorful lesson, they're given an encouraging avenue to:

✨ Address school-age themes
✨ Connect with characters
✨ Feel affirmed & confident
✨ Grow Critical Thinking Skills
✨ Learn positive re-focus
✨ Find resolution

The Author's Storybook Learning pairs text & illustrations to embed Critical Thinking Skills. Parent & Classroom Guide:

• Simile: "Sous sings like a fizzy kettle of tea and dances like spaghetti."
• Symbolism: mountain = obstacles
• Theme: "When you choose to solve a problem, you are no longer ordinary!"
• Homophones Activity: words that sound alike but have different meanings & spelling
• Problem Resolution: When we seek to solve a problems, we are extraordinary because we do not let the problem grow out of control, we no longer feel burdened and we can now help others
• Compare & Contrast: Use the Spot the Differences Activity at the end of the book to talk about feelings before & after, or a negative situation that turned positive after re-focus, what is similar, what is different etc.
