A playful picture-book twist on picky eating

Saffy’s devotion to buttered pasta and Lumo’s to chicken tenders become literal when each friend wakes up with a food-themed change: spaghetti hair for Saffy, chicken-finger hands for Lumo. Their predicament brings the familiar saying “you are what you eat” into a story about friendship, food preferences, and the possibility of trying something new. The central question—whether the friends want to return to normal—gives the premise a choice beyond simply undoing the changes. Written for young children, the book frames picky eating through an imaginative, food-centered friendship story.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

Book overview

A USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

From the creators of the most-watched daily show on the internet, Good Mythical Morning, comes "Spaghetti Head & Chicken Fingers," a hilariously relatable picture book about what happens when you are what you eat--literally.

Saffy loves buttered pasta, and Lumo loves chicken tenders. It's the only thing either of them will ever eat! But when Saffy wakes up one day to find she has spaghetti for hair and Lumo opens his eyes to see that his hands have sprouted chicken fingers, suddenly the saying "you are what you eat" has taken on a whole new meaning. What will the two friends do? How will they get back to normal - and do they even want to?

From Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal comes this hilariously relatable tale about friendship, picky eating, and daring to try something new.
