Mai e poi mai mangerò i pomodori

The playful tone makes the subject of food battles so relatable and fun. I'm curious whether this approach was inspired by real childhood moments or a desire to make kids feel understood.

Lauren Child's illustrations really bring the characters to life and add humor, but I wonder how much they influenced the pacing or tone of the story overall.

This book takes a simple 'no' about tomatoes and turns it into a funny tale. I'm curious whether the author drew from personal experiences or aimed to challenge kids' stubbornness in a playful way.
