I’m so, so happy to introduce one of my latest editing projects, If Macaroni Could Talk by Antonique Spence, which I love for so many reasons!
It’s targeted at young children, maybe four to eight, and deals with bullying in a compassionate way. It’s about the power every child has to spread love and make the world better in their own little way.
The main character, Loui, is also brown, which isn’t intrinsic to the story but I think it’s a great idea for kids of any colour to see themselves in the books they read. Here is the Amazon blurb. Please check it out for a kid you love.
As an adventurous, clever, and imaginative young girl, Loui discovers the power of her words, actions, and dreams with the help of her Grandma Carrie. Her favorite food, Grandma’s Amazing Macaroni and Cheese, quickly becomes the face of world change. The gooey, cheesy, buttery essence of Grandma’s famous recipe inspires Loui’s world, which leads her to impact others by spreading positivity to everyone, one talking note at a time.
(Side note, the author and I clicked because my grandmother’s name is Grandma Carrie too!)
