Overview

One of Boris' favourite things is when Baba comes to visit. His grandmother is always ready with a hug, a smile... and a fun recipe they can make together! Today, Baba is here to make pyrohy, a traditional Ukrainian food. Boris can't wait to join her in the kitchen...but as excited as he is to spend time with Baba, Boris is worried. What if he can't make the pyrohy as well as he'd like to? Baba is there to comfort him, and to remind him that none of us are good at something the first time we do it. It's only with practice that we get where we most want to be. The act of cooking for and eating with family is a special and timeless tale. Boris and Baba captures that magic, sharing with readers the joy of spending time with grandparents. It encourages kids to try out new experiences, learn the family recipes that might otherwise be lost over time, and cherish the warm and loving memories that are cooked up in the kitchen.
