It's Not That Spicy I Mei and Kaili Powers

By Stories of a Colorful World

While there are many wonderful books that illustrate how to eat right, where food comes from and how it's grown, not many introduce children to spicy food. Instead, children are often taught at a young age to avoid, and even fear, spicy foods.

It's Not That Spicy appeals to foodie families and families from cultures where spicy food is celebrated. Through Kaili's adventures exploring new spicy condiments and cuisines from Asia (like pho and sriracha, sushi and wasabi, and bibimbap and gochujang), children learn to be open-minded, to be brave, and to try new things-important life lessons that extend beyond food.

If you are looking for a book that will help expand your kids' palates and worldviews by introducing them to different foods, spices, and cultures, then this is the book for you!
