Causing a Stir: The Secret Lives & Loves of Kitchen Utensils

Poet and painter Prartho Sereno opens the door to a magical world hidden inside our most ordinary one, the kitchen. Here you will meet a cast of characters both whimsical and wise. The Whisk is a whirling dervish; the Slotted Spoon understands the sorcery of tears. The Spatula knows the alchemy of turning work to play. And then there are others who mirror our struggles and coax out compassion: The Dinner Fork is an incurable dreamer; the Soup Spoon can't help but give everything away. The Pickle Fork is heartbroken over the Iced Tea Spoon's cold shoulder.

Twenty-six watercolor paintings to inspire and delight. Twenty-six poems to help us slow down and listen deep. As accessible as the utensils it celebrates, Causing a Stir will fold humor and wonder back into your days.
