Faruq and the Wiri Wiri

Meer over het boek

Faruq's passion for cooking and his deep bond with his ajee drive the narrative, as he aspires to recreate her beloved cook-up rice. Faced with the challenge of preparing Sunday lunch when she falls ill, he teams up with neighbor Mrs. Joseph to gather ingredients and cook. This experience not only fills him with love but also inspires him to reconsider his future beyond the family's expectations of becoming a doctor. Sophia Payne's story beautifully captures Caribbean culture and food, enhanced by Sandhya Prabhat's vibrant illustrations.
