Welcome to a world where little people have big personalities. A world thatโs upside down and yet weirdly, wonderfully real. A world where Lilliputian thieves poach strawberry seeds. Where it takes a guy with a jackhammer to pop open pistachios. Where skaters fall into a crack in the crรจme brรปlรฉe, and teddy bear cookies congregate with evil intent. Marrying inspired photographs of real food and tiny people with equally inspired captions, photograp her Christopher Boffoli creates a smart, funny, quirky vision of what it means to play with your food. The scenes are hilarious and outlandishโ a farmer shovels a pasture full of cow pies, aka chocolate chips; hikers pause at a rest stop to take in a magical mushroom forest. And the captions surprise with their cleverness and emotional truth. Of the proudly gesticulating little chef amid the macarons: โRight on cue, Philippe stepped up to take all of the credit.โ Of the tiny bather up to her chin in waves of blue Jell-O: โIn her continuing search for a husband, Gladys decided it was best to put herself in situations where she needed to be rescued.โ Of the broad-shouldered technician spreading condiments on a hot dog: โGary always uses too much mustard. But no one can say so. Itโs a union thing.โ Happiness, hope, adventure, pride, love, greed, menace, solitudeโitโs our world, seen through a singularly unique and funny lens, in more than 100 scenes from breakfast through dessert.
