Willieboy Eats the World: A Children's Picture Book

About this book

Sopranos and Blue Bloods star Steve Schirripa gets a delicious and delightful lesson about the wondrous world of food from his dog WillieBoy in this beautifully illustrated picture book WILLIEBOY EATS THE WORLD is a children’s book that answers the question every parent has asked: what do you tell children who won’t try new things? Actor and best-selling author Steve Schirripa yields center stage to his adorable real-life dachshund WillieBoy in this New York City–based fantasy. It was inspired by the viral videos the two have become famous for, with Steve and WillieBoy chowing down on everything from pizza to churros. In WillieBoy Eats the World, Steve admits that he only eats Italian food because it’s all that he knows—so WillieBoy teaches him the joy of trying Chinese, Thai, Mexican, Korean, and dozens of other delights. WillieBoy promises: “Trust me, my pal, you’ll be glad that I sent ya / On this great big fabulous dining adventure.” The book is cowritten by author and journalist Philip Lerman, and illustrated by veteran artist Kirk Parrish.
