Monica loves the Butter Chicken that her father makes. She spends the day helping him in the kitchen as he prepares the dish, stirring the sauce and adding the spices. And while the chicken bakes, the two dance around the kitchen.
When the chicken is done, they get ready to sit down and enjoy the meal together. But then the doorbell rings, and Grandma, Monica’s uncles, and even the neighbors arrive to share in the feast!
A warm and inspiring story of food, family, community, and sharing that includes a foreword by renowned chef José Andrés, and one of the author’s own recipes.

The story is simple but effective, and children may recognise elements of their own community or traditions, particularly of eating together, as they turn over the beautifully illustrated pages. Children will love the bright pictures, full of friendly faces and decorative details. You can almost smell the delicious dish!
