About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking where their dinner comes from or shows a blossoming interest in the natural world. It is a perfect tool for moving beyond the supermarket shelf to build a deeper connection with the people and processes that nourish us. Through bright, engaging photography, the book introduces the diverse community of workers who cultivate our food, from vegetable farmers and dairy workers to those on fishing boats. This title is particularly effective for encouraging picky eaters to try new things by demystifying the food journey. It fosters a sense of gratitude and wonder for the labor involved in every meal. Geared toward children ages 4 to 8, it uses clear, accessible language to explain complex agricultural concepts while celebrating the beauty of fresh, healthy ingredients.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is secular and direct. While it mentions raising animals for food (meat and dairy), it focuses on the living animals and the harvest process rather than slaughter. It is realistic but gentle.
Ideal Reader
A preschooler or early elementary student who loves helping in the kitchen or visiting the farmers market, or a child who feels anxious about unfamiliar foods and needs a friendly introduction to their origins.
