Before We Eat is a gentle, lovely introduction to good, nutritious, locally grown food and the people who make sure it's there for us. We can all give thanks for that, and for this book., An especially and highly recommended addition tofamily, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community librarypicture book collections., Cultivating an attitudeof gratitude as a healthy thing to do. In recent years much has beenpublished about the numerous benefits of being grateful. The webmd.com articleon gratefulness says that gratitude reduces stress and boosts the immunesystem, both of which improve quality of life all the way around. ...The book is a thoughtful examination of where food comes from-- that is beforeis gets to the grocery store. ...Pages show people engaged in every mannerof food production: plowing, planting, harvesting, milking, egg gathering,packing and weighing crates, driving delivery trucks and cashiering at thegrocery store. It is a wonderfully inclusive and honest way to view foodacquisition., A simple poem thanking the people who grow, transport, sell and prepare our food is transformed by Azarian's bright woodcuts...A warm celebration of both small farms and the idea that it takes a village to feed a child. (Picture book. 2-6), What did you like about the book? Anyone who has ever lived in Vermont would be well familiar with the artwork of Mary Azarian. In this book she first carved the pictures in wood before printing them with ink and onto paper and then adding color with acrylic paints. Her very detailed illustrations have the feeling of folklore, which perfectly complement the words of Pat Brisson. Food begins with plowing the ground and planting the seeds, tending the fields and removing the weeds. Eggs are gathered, cows are milked, and honey is harvested from the bees. The items reach warehouses where they are packed into crates and carried to the grocery market for you to buy - and eat. The book is a tribute to all who take part in this process from the very beginning to the very end., This eye- and ear-catching read-aloud makes a wonderfuldiscussion-starter for exploring how food is produced, acquired, andappreciated., "An especially and highly recommended addition to family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library picture book collections." - Midwest Review of Books "This eye- and ear-catching read-aloud makes a wonderful discussion-starter for exploring how food is produced, acquired, and appreciated." - School Library Journal "What did you like about the book?
