To Market, to Market

When a child asks “where does our food come from?” this book is the perfect answer. It gently introduces the concept of local food systems by following a mother and son on a trip to their weekly farmers market. For each item on their shopping list, from honey to salmon to apples, the story pauses to show the beekeeper, fisher, or farmer who produced it. The book fosters a sense of gratitude, curiosity, and wonder about the origins of our food. Perfect for ages 3 to 7, its stunning papercut art and warm family narrative make learning about food a joyful, beautiful experience, connecting children to their community and the natural world.
