About This Book:
Get ready for another deliciously cozy story from the creator of Set Sail for Pancakes!
“A fun, snuggly read-aloud that will get tummies rumbling.”—BCCB
A stormy and windy night is the perfect time to make a grilled cheese. But Margot is worried about Mama. She left in her little sailboat hours ago and the storm is raging! As Margot and Grandpa welcome other busy seafarers into their home to shelter from the storm, her hope–and sandwich supplies–begin to run low. Will Margot ever be able to make Mama that grilled cheese?
Grilled Cheese? Yes, Please! provides a gentle but beautiful reminder about the importance of community, helping others, and–most importantly–the healing power of a perfectly made grilled cheese.

Margot, Put the Kettle On
There is a recipe for grilled cheese sandwiches at the end of the book, using the secret ingredient many people swear by– using mayonnaise on the outside of the bread instead of butter. Mine would still stick to the pan and burn!
This is a great book to show how people in communities can help each other, and would be right at home on the shelf beside Hey Wall: A Story of Art and Community, by Verde and Parra or De La Pena’s The Last Stop on Market Street. It’s also a fun story about cooking that is a great accompaniment to Saeed’s Bilal Cooks Daal or Fullerton’s Community Soup.
