Jim Malloy teamed up with illustrator Hannah Stephey and published The Look Cookers, an entertaining, and creative adventure story for children which shares a strong message that it is okay (and in fact fun) to be shy. This wonderful tale illustrates that challenges can be overcome with a little courage and imagination.
Matthew is a normal boy in every way but he is shy. He does not like eye contact.
In his lively imagination, he envisions that anyone who looks at him has special powers – they are the Look Cookers.
This is a delightful story about a young boy who has a mission to overcome his shyness. I highly recommend this at a back-to-school book for young children. The story is creative and a must-read and the illustrations are quite detailed and really bring this children’s story to life!
