“Finally: a kids’ book about trying new foods in which the child takes charge.”—Kirkus Reviews

From an award-winning creator, comes an adorable exploration of what it is like to be a selective eater and the big emotions that come up as kids are introduced to new foods and flavors—some more suspicious than others!

ALL bunnies love carrots… except for one: he thinks carrots are suspicious! But he can’t help it. Carrots crunch and munch when you eat them. He prefers quiet foods like bananas and yogurt and cinnamon cake. Not to mention that carrots grow underground—a suspicious way to grow! He decides to investigate carrots so he can learn more about them, and maybe give them a chance. What things will he discover along the way?

Perfect for kids and parents navigating selective eaters, Carrots Make Me Suspicious offers:
A gentle exploration of sensitive eating habits and the emotions kids and parents encounter while expanding their tastebuds
An affirming, child-centered experience to food sensory behaviors
