“Bitter Gourd cooking for an Emperor should amuse any fussy eater who pushes it round the plate. In such rich colour, the Kingdom of Food looks good enough to eat.”
Princess Chilli dazzles everyone. Pity her words sting.
How the Chilli Became Hot is a full-colour illustrated chapter book about a proud princess who must learn that kind words matter.
Princess Chilli of the grand Kingdom of Food is admired for her beauty, but her careless words hurt people. Her father, the King, fears she will insult the Emperor and ruin the kingdom's good name. Then the Emperor of Food announces a grand feast, a contest that will test every flavour in the land.
Why children love it
- Foods are characters too, and Bitter Gourd and Tomato each bring a dish to the feast.
- Glowing pictures, from Chilli's swirling red skirt to bright patterned palace tiles.
- Its big idea fits in one line: "If spoken gently, words add flavour to life."
