Reach for this book when your child asks a million questions about the grocery store or refuses to eat their vegetables because they do not understand where they come from. It is a perfect tool for bridging the gap between the plastic-wrapped items on a shelf and the living world of farms and nature. Through clear, vintage-style illustrations, it demystifies the production of everyday staples like bread, milk, and fruit. This guide fosters a sense of gratitude for the hard work of farmers and the complexity of modern machinery. It is developmentally ideal for preschoolers and early elementary students who are in a 'how does it work' phase. By showing the step by step journey of food, it helps children feel more connected to their environment and can even encourage a more adventurous attitude toward trying new foods.
