'IZZIE WASN'T VERY TALL FOR SEVEN. NOT EVEN FOR SIX. OR FIVE. EVEN IF
SHE STOOD ON HER TIPPY, TIPPY TOES, HER PONY TAIL JUST REACHED THE TOP OF
DADDY'S CHAIR..."
So begins the tale of the little girl who believes that by eating lots of
cupcakes, she will get tall, maybe even tall enough to be a ballerina. Too many
cupcakes cause a tummy ache and the trouble starts. Living gluten-free
isn't a piece of cake until Izzie learns that being special is what really makes
you tall. This charming and emotionally honest tale, complete with a
real-life happy ending -- a gluten and lactose-free cupcake recipe designed especially
for the book by Whole Foods Market Gluten-Free Bakehouse chef, Lee Tobin,
will delight young readers for years to come.
Novelist Jax Peters Lowell is the author of the best-selling Against The
Grain and it's soon-to-be-published sequel, The Gluten-Free Bible, Henry Holt,
February/March, 2005. Jane Kirkwood, a gifted artist whose work has been
exhibited at Lincoln Center Gallery and Long Island's East End Art Council has
created an unforgettable character in Izzie O'Brien.
