Reach for this book when your child starts asking where their food comes from or when you want to bridge the distance between your family and global issues of fairness. It is a beautiful choice for families who want to cultivate a sense of gratitude for the unseen hands that nourish us and for those looking to discuss social justice through a relatable, everyday lens. Through the story of a simple flatbread, children learn about the labor, history, and community that connect a kitchen in America to a wheat field in India. It gently introduces the concept of collective action and the importance of standing up for what is right, making it a perfect tool for building empathy and cultural pride in children ages 4 to 8. This cross-continental journey helps children see themselves as part of a much larger, interconnected world.
