Overview
Faruq loves his ajee, and he loves her cooking just as much. He hopes to be able to make cook-up rice almost as good as Ajee’s someday. But Faruq’s family expects him to be a doctor, not a chef. When Ajee is too sick to cook Sunday lunch, Faruq enlists the help of his neighbor, Mrs. Joseph, and together they pick some wiri wiri peppers and start cooking. Preparing food for his family fills Faruq’s heart with love—and sets a different course for his future. Sophia Payne’s heartwarming story celebrates Caribbean culture and food and is brought to life by Sandhya Prabhat’s beautiful artwork.
