Tallula’s friend Mia is coming for dinner — but will her family mind their manners or behave like animals?
Tallula’s family is so embarrassing! They fight like screeching cats, they’re louder than a herd of elephants and they have worse table manners than wild hogs. Tallula would prefer a family like Mia’s — proper, polite and quiet. One day, Tallula discovers Mia is coming to Family Feast, when all Tallula’s relatives gather together. Her tummy flip flops: Mia will taste, see and hear all kinds of things, and Tallula is horrified! So she devises a plan to help her family learn to behave — but will it work?
Celebrating diversity, acceptance, love and cultural differences, Family Feast is a humorous, multicultural story about the importance of family — and enjoying a good meal!
