Written & illustrated by Rosemary Wells
Part of the Felix & Fiona series
A picky eater faces a daunting menu. Will friendship help him try new foods?
Felix, a picky eater, sticks to his comfort foods until his friend Fiona's half-birthday dinner presents a challenge. Confronted with an unfamiliar menu, Felix must decide whether to stay hungry or embrace new tastes. Can Fiona's gentle encouragement help him overcome his food fears? This heartwarming tale explores the power of friendship in overcoming childhood anxieties.
When picky eater Felix finds himself in a pickle, his best friend, Fiona, gently helps him widen his culinary horizons. Felix brings the same lunch to school every day: sprouts on buttered oat bread. He will also eat pasta with butter. And he loves macaroni and cheese. No need to try anything new. But on the night of his friend Fiona’s half-birthday celebration, Felix finds himself facing down an unfamiliar – and anxiety-provoking – menu. Will he leave the restaurant hungry, or can Fiona convince him to give new tastes a try? With singular compassion and humor, Rosemary Wells once again shows how the balm of friendship can help buffer a familiar moment of childhood angst.
