As another option, I bet students would enjoy creating a graphic novel page of a step-by-step, illustrated recipe. The dialogue adds much to this book, so teachers could ask students to analyze how the dialogue shapes the story. Teachers might have students use this graphic novel as a model for students to illustrate how their interests have shaped their memories. My husband can recall more soccer games than I care to count. Students have interests like sports or hobbies that shape their memories. For example, I can’t recall where I went on my trip to South Carolina, but I do remember the books I read on the beach that week. Teacher’s Tools for Navigation: We all have interests that shape our memories. Readers who don’t love food will still identify with her passion. She does a fantastic job showing passion–it reads like a beautiful love letter to food.
Lucy’s rebellious teenage years are reflected in the foods she ate, and she learns lessons from her dining experiences. While food is the center of this graphic novel, Kinsley shows how she grew as an individual from life-changing events like her parents’ divorce to a trip to Europe. The illustrations made me laugh out loud, and I didn’t want to put it down–except to try out a few recipes (that were all delicious!). It is easily one of the best graphic novels I have read. I can spend hours watching Food Network, so this was a sure-winner for me. Review: Admittedly, I am obsessed with food (both cooking and eating). Brimming with recipes and stories told through taste, Relish is sure to please readers, even advanced chefs. From her recipe for “The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies” to an “exploded view” of Huevos Rancheros to a diagram of how to make sushi rolls to a “Cheese Cheat Sheet,” each chapter ends with an illustrated recipe that will make readers want to jump into the kitchen. Raised by foodies, Lucy recalls that all of her earliest memories are reflected in food that she was eating at the time. Summary: In this autobiographical graphic novel, Lucy Knisley reveals her love for food. Be sure to visit Kid Lit Frenzy and see what other nonfiction books are shared this week! Most Wednesdays, we will be participating and will review a nonfiction text (though it may not always be a picture book).
