Where does food come from? Does it come from the mountains or the supermarket? How do we grow food? How do we look after our garden? Who harvests them and puts them on the table? What happens to the food in our garden? This educational picture book aims to answer all the basic questions a child might have about food. This book will inspire conversations with young children about the origins of their food and start them on the path to being careful stewards of the environment. A great resource for children to make sense of the garden to table process through visual storytelling with the bonus of real action pictures. Children learn that growing their own food to eat is not only good for the environment. It is a whole lot of fun, too!
