Where Does Fruit Come From?

Reach for this book when your child starts asking 'why' about every item in the grocery cart or shows a newfound interest in how the world works. It is an ideal choice for transitioning a curious toddler or local explorer into the world of scientific systems and global connections. By tracing the life of an orange, the book introduces the concept that food requires time, labor, and specific environmental conditions to reach us. Beyond the botanical facts, the book fosters a sense of gratitude and patience. It helps children understand that the fruit they enjoy today started as a tiny seed years ago and traveled a long way to get to their plate. This perspective is particularly helpful for children who struggle with 'waiting' or for those who are picky eaters, as it builds a deeper respect for the food they see every day. It is written in clear, accessible language perfect for the 4 to 7 age range.
