Boys, girls and basically children of all ages love to prepare food and cook. Cooking and creating great tasting dishes brings a wonderful sense of achievement that is so important to a child’s personal growth, self esteem and self confidence. As noted in "Sparkimur Friends" "Meet the Sparkimurs", self-confidence and self-esteem are corner stones of our children’s daily and future successes in learning about life. The process of building our children’s self-esteem and self-confidence should begin from day one. 

Food preparation is part of daily routines and cooking offers a wonderful opportunity for parents to share time with children. This time spent benefits both parents and children. It gives both children and parents a chance to talk, spend time with each other, do creative things and feel that sense of accomplishment together. The benefits derived from this time together in the kitchen and at the dinner table will continue throughout life.

This "Sparkimur Friends", "Little Gourmet" Cookbook features Sparkimur characters that children love, making preparing food and cooking even more fun and inviting to children. This cookbook has an ongoing focus on safety and can be easily understood by children for it is written in both pictures and words.
