The Diary of Amos Lee by Adeline Foo

Mum had weird food cravings when she was pregnant with me. At one time, it was for char siew bao. Another time, it was for cookies-double chocolate macadamia nut. She ate so many cookies in the nine months carrying me that when the doctor asked what she was naming her baby boy as I was being pushed out of her womb, she shouted, "He will be famous one day. I will call him Amos!"
