Author / Illustrator Study

So my author is Kashmir, a chef, and on this

front page have picture of Kashmir, a chef and different

books that she wrote about Kashmir.

Chef. She has been an award winning author for 14

years. She was our first book in 2000 and four

and has been a sensation ever since because we're a

chef, was born in India and came to the U.

S when she was 17 years old.

She attended Iowa State University, Received received A B s

in microbiology and is the author of several award winning

picture books, middle grade and young adult novels.

She taught at Pine Manor College, ran a dance school,

choreographed and performed Indian dances.

She had never seen snow before moving to the United

States. Her mother tongue is Gujarat.

She started learning English in the fifth grade in India.

She lived in a small city, Bhatnagar and in a

big city of Mumbai.

She moved to the Aims Iowa when she was a

teenager teenager to attend college.

Some of Kashmir chefs, works Chef has written multiple book

at books, and many of them have been awarded.

Thes are just some of her amazing works.

I have Sonia in the wedding game, Tiger, My Soup,

Feast of Peas but No Dog Slide Rule and Nina

Sony, Sister Fixer.

My favorite book, My favorite book was Nina's only sister

fixer. It was my favorite book because I could really

see myself and my own sister in it.

I thought the book was so realistic and very relatable.

The book really exemplifies chefs work because it shows her

a stand ability to write books that air relatable to

Children of all ages and even adults because they couldn't

think back about what it was like when they were

kids, just like I did with my sister.

We used to go do the same things that, um,

Nina Sony and her sister did on The Expert.

Exert from the book I chose was the real Kavita.

I couldn't change Kavita, and it would be difficult to

let go of my own weirdness.

I could never, ever stop making list.

I could never, ever stop making moving my hands when

I talked.

My weirdness is me.

I guess everyone has their own weirdness.

If all of us were the same, it would be

super boring, and I completely agree with that because that

always reminds me of what my mom always said.

People being different is what makes the what makes the

world go around.

Okay, Her most notable books, Kashmir Chef has amazing books

that are not all about American culture.

This author is very diverse, which makes her so much

more fun.

Toe learn about it makes her books much more appealing.

Toe all I've loved getting to learn about the Indian

culture through all of her amazing books.

So the first one that I read was Sona and

the wedding Game.

Although I put Nina Sony Sister Fixer as my favorite

book, I would say Sonia and the wedding game was

a really close second or even a second ahead.

I couldn't really decide.

This book was published in 2015.

This book taught me so much about the Indian culture

and made me wish I could be a part of

this type of spectacular festival.

Kashmir. A chef was the one has the wonderful ability

to draw you into a book and make you feel

like you're there.

It was a spectacular book.

This would be a great resource in my classroom to

teach about the different cultures around the world.

In my culture, we sit and watch a wedding efficient,

married to people.

However, in the Indian culture of the man and wife

take off their shoes.

The new sister in law tries to seal the groom's

shoes, and she has to negotiate with him to get

um so he can get them back.

And the man and wife get married in front of

their family.

These events are huge festivals in my culture.

They they could be very small or they could be

big. It doesn't matter.

But in India, there normally very big.

And I also added down in the right corner Wisconsin

Library Association, Um, Kashmir, a chef.

It's on award that she one, which I think is

very notable for a book number two.

Nina Sony, Sister, Fixer.

As I stated before, this is my favorite book I

read by Cashmere Chef.

This book was published in 2020.

I thought that this was an amazing book.

A reminded me of my sister and I when we

were younger and our siblings growing up.

This book was a great read.

I finished it in one sitting.

It would be great to teach students that all people

are different, and that is a good thing during the

entire book.

I was thinking, however, about how Nina would be very

upset if she, like, lost her sister something in the

entire book.

She's trying to fix her sister, but thankfully, by the

end of the book, she figured out that she shouldn't

be trying to fix her sister and that she is

perfect just the way she is.

For the third book, I read Tiger on My Soup,

Tiger, My Soup was unlike any book I've ever read.

I thought the book was very good and it was

so interesting.

It would be really fun Book to read in Classroom,

to teach imagination.

And it would be a great book to have students

draw about, like draw your favorite part of the book

or draw what you learn or draw what you remember.

This book was published in 2013, and the book was

about a young boy being taken care of by his

older sister.

The boy was hunger hungry, so the sister made him

some soup and there was a tiger in it.

His imagination got the best of him and his sister

finally read him his book and book number four.

Feast of Peas.

Another great book written by Kashmir, A Chef is Feast

of Peas.

Piece to Piece is an amazing book that was published

in 2 2020.

I felt that the book was a great representation of

why it's wrong to steal and how hard work really

pays off.

It also teaches the importance of friendship forgiveness.

Um, what's wrong with being selfish?

Why that's wrong and how to make things right?

This would be a great book for Children about seven

and up, I would say, because older Children would know

why lying was wrong.

And they'll actually understand why the teacher is reading it

like, What's the point of the story?

It was a really good book, and it taught me

a lot about Indian culture and book number five.

The No Dogs Allowed rule.

The No Dogs allowed role was the final book I

read of the author.

It was a brilliant book, It was super sweet, and

it was published in 2000 and 12.

This book is a great book about two brothers that

work extremely hard.

Thio get their mom to change her mind about getting

a dog dogs a really hard work, So the mother

is very hesitant.

This is a great book for Children of all ages,

including adults.

This would be a great book for a classroom, about

teaching responsibility or just as leisure reading or like calm

down reading.

Because I know it's really important to have constant read

aloud them classroom or just a time for the teacher

to take 10 minutes, 15 minutes to read a book

to their students and have that as a continuation book

every day and my review.

I thought that this was an amazing author study.

I will definitely continue to branch out.

I plan to find many diverse authors and illustrators in

my future classroom.

My opinion.

I have found the study to be such an amazing

experience. I've never read many books about different cultures, which

sounds very sad, but when I grew up, they were

all about white kids with like, blonder brown hair, same

stories, same kids over and over again.

But I've read a lot of Kashmir chefs books now,

and I absolutely love them, and I'm definitely going to

continue Thio Branch out more and have multiple multiple diversity

authors and illustrators in my classroom.

I've really enjoyed this.

Amazing, um, study.

I really found it helpful.

Thank you.
