When Faruq’s ajee, or grandmother, is too sick to cook the family meal, Faruq steps up to the challenge, spices and all. Follow Faruq’s adventure to create the most scrumptious Sunday feast in Faruq and the Wiri Wiri, written by Sophia Payne and illustrated by Sandhya Prabhat. Listen to the snap and sizzle of Faruq’s kitchen and consider the different flavors captured in Still Life with Fruit and Vegetables (1625–35) by Flemish artist Frans Snyders. Afterward, design your own perfect meal and frame the occasion in a still life of your own.? Speaker Museum Educator... This activity is designed for families with children ages 4–8.
