10 Gulab Jamuns: Counting with an Indian Sweet Treat by Sandhya Acharya
4.0
Review copy via author.
I'm inclined to love books about food. Learning about a food new to me is especially welcome. In 10 Gulab Jamuns, Mamma is preparing fantastic sounding sweet treats for their guests. The illustrations are bright, cheerful, and show the mischievous children at work. The Gulab Jamuns are sweet, but so are the interactions between the family members.
The inclusion of a recipe for gulab jamuns makes the book even more fun. I look forward to trying out the recipe in the future. Readers and their families will likely be inspired to make Gulab Jamuns after reading this cute story of family and food that is universal while also highlighting Indian culture.
Recomendation: This is a nice addition to any picture book collection especially for those looking for representation from India or books focusing on food.
