The author uses simple language to describe the situations. I thought it was a brilliant idea that Gemma elder brother was narrating the story. As a young woman I was not very maternal, and intended not to have children. My first pregnancy was entirely unplanned. My books have largely been a celebration and savoring of the positive experience of parenthood I had not anticipated-the fun, warmth, and love. Designing picture books for young children, I am aware that such books are almost always shared by the child and a caring adult. I find the challenge of communicating with both child and adult-working on two levels in one book--a demanding, intriguing and rewarding task. I design picture books for children and adults because I depend on the adult to create the right atmosphere and help children read them. When this happens, it is a time for physical closeness and comfort, a quiet time for sharing ideas and feelings, for laughing and learning together. Anyone who takes time to share books with young children is rewarded and revitalized by the experience every time.

Then one day in church, Gemma is inspired to eat the fruit off of the hat of the lady in front of her. Her brother has an idea - will a plate of fruit dressed up like a hat finally get Gemma to eat? The “skin” helps create that hardened shell that’s iconic of the macaron. Also, without proper “skin” development, when baking, the heat will escape from the top rather than from the bottom which creates the other iconic feature of the macaron — the “feet”.

Lastly, the oven temperature set too high can prevent the insides to set, causing the meringue to collapse when the shells are taken out of the oven. 7. Uneven Feet Gemma is a baby who refuses to eat. Anything that is put in front of her gets thrown, smashed or given to somebody else!
