Freckle-Faced Foodie Ariel Fox

When Chef Ariel Fox was growing up, she knew she was biracial but didn't know many details about her heritage or the rich cultural traditions on either side of her family. When her fourth grade teacher gives her the task of writing an essay about her holiday traditions, based on her family background and culture, she struggles to meet her Monday morning deadline - until she discovers that food keeps emerging as a theme in her life, a theme that helps her gain a stronger sense of her identity.

A genre-defying blend of fiction, memoir, and cookbook for kids, Freckle-Faced Foodie is about exploring passions, learning about your roots, and most of all, being proud of who you are.
