To My Surprise sends readers, young and old, on a sumptuous and imaginary journey of food for thought.
Each page is accompanied by full colour original artwork that captures the suspense, adventure and surprise as experienced by the reader through the humble egg.
The story challenges our expectation of what lies within and encourages enquiring minds to consider and explore questions of where our food comes from. The book helps open discusion about the delicate and fine balance between our food origins, our relationship to food and the enjoyment of cooking and eating in these ever-changing times.
Experience the baking and pleasure of eating a delicious cake as a metaphor for the interference, disruption and rediscovery of our relationship to food and the environments we must nurture to sustain us all.
