Bookroo's summary

Lola refuses to eat anything, from carrots to tomatoes, until her brother Charlie spins tales of cosmic origins and magical lands. As Charlie's stories transform ordinary food into extraordinary adventures, will Lola finally take a bite? Dive into a whimsical tale where imagination triumphs over picky eating, and discover if Lola's taste buds can be swayed by creativity.

From the publisher

Lola is a fussy eater. A very fussy eater. She won’t eat her carrots (until her brother Charlie reveals that they’re orange twiglets from Jupiter). She won’t eat her mashed potatoes (until Charlie explains that they’re cloud fluff from the pointiest peak of Mount Fuji). There are many things Lola won’t eat, including - and especially - tomatoes. Or will she? Two endearing siblings star in a witty story about the triumph of imagination over proclivity.
