Description
Tie on your apron! Roll up your sleeves! Pans are out, oven is hot, the kitchenβs all ready! Where do we start?
With a garden abundant with produce, a joyfully chaotic kitchen, and a friendly meal shared at the table, Our Little Kitchen is a celebration of full bellies and looking out for one another.
You can almost smell the veggies on the stove! Ingredients and steps for making vegetable soup precede a swirl of steam that leads into an introduction to a small community kitchen. Here a diverse group of friends, family, and neighbors unite to prep the meal with βwhat weβve got, what weβve grown, what weβve kept, been given, and bought!β
The group prepares soup, chili, apple crumble, salad, warm bread, and more. The sounds of the kitchen βsizzle, chop, glug, slice, peel, trim, toss, splash, squish.β Helpers serve as neighbors wait and anticipate the joy of sharing in a time of need.
The bookβs bright, full-color illustrations, speech bubbles, simple words, varying perspectives, and exciting action encourage young readers to jump from page to page.
Bonus materials include recipes and an authorβs note about the volunteering experience that inspired the book.
