""Unsure about the definition of curry, a young girl of South Asian descent discovers that this term encompasses many things all at once... This tale will especially appeal to readers of South Asian heritage, who will welcome this authentic representation of the lingering fragrances of a complex food, although others will, too. Evoking the enticing aroma of beloved foods, Ladi’s swirling illustrations extend Marianayagam’s words nicely... A clever stew of poetic words spiced up with joyful illustrations.""—Kirkus Reviews
