As a community we don’t have a children’s book … yet.
So I have partnered with Mohammad Naser, a 3D Modeler and Illustrator, to create The Adventures of Andrew Price.
This book is being created by popular request from community members who hope to have such a book to read to their children, and to have their children read themselves.
Join Andrew Price, the great, great nephew of Dr. Weston A. Price, the dentist, as he delivers a “show and tell” to his classroom. He will recount the travels that his great uncle took to Switzerland, Alaska and Africa. As the narrator, he will teach those who are reading the book about the nutritional principles that support optimal health.
This is a story about an adventurous child teaching children about traditionally prepared, real foods with humor and art.
View a sneak peek and behind the scenes of the book.
We seek your support to complete this book.
This is a community supported book. Our plan is to create the children’s book as a hard copy, an e-book, an audio book, and eventually an animated story. That is why the character and scences have been created as 3D models. Once we receive the financial support we need to complete the book, we will notify our supporters of an estimated timeline.
We are offering all of the Nourishing Our Children’s educational materials at a greatly reduced price to those who support our book in progress!
If you have ever had an interest in our materials – this is the time to order them.
What do you want your children to know as you read them this story or as they read it to themselves?!

This is beyond awesome. You continue to amaze me with your initiatives and follow through. I love that Mohammad Naser is the illustrator. I’m sure I’ll be acquiring plenty of these to give to children!
Thank you for your continued support, Riki!
WHAT an inspiration! My 13 year old and I have played with making a dramatic story addressing this.
I hope Andrew’s “coloring” looks as lovely as his teeth.
I would like my children to understand
-The dispositions (strong minds,) that were supported by consuming nutrient dense, traditional foods. (I suggest showing the stark contrast of today to 1931).
-How one did not see people of all ages disabled by obesity.
-How mommies easily birthed healthy, full term babies.
-How people had perfect teeth without brushing or BRACES.(and there were few medical options.)
-WIse traditions of HEALTH were passed down generation after generation…GRANDPARENTS to parents to children…and those ways NOURISHED growing children just as good,healthy soil nourishes the strongest and most fruitful plants.
My 13 year old just now said “if they could get it to have the feeling of the OLD Disney movies, leading in with something of innocent charm,,,transport to another world and “Let’s Go Fly A Kite,” Mary Poppins” ending.
Hi Wendy,
We love your feedback! Thank you for your entry!
We have seen the different iterations of Andrew Price on various devices and operating systems and the color isn’t consistent. There isn’t anything we can do. On our Apple computer monitors his coloring looks very healthy to our eyes but, on our iPhones and iPads, the color isn’t as designed.
The hard copy of the book will be consistent in everyone’s hands!
Wonderful idea. Can’t wait to get my son a copy. Ethan yesterday was telling he cousin about his drink kefir kool aid. He said it us really good it has good bugs in it. Love how kids encourage eachother
I am so excited about this book. I feel like one of the hardest parts of raising children today is having them feel like they are different than the other kids because of how and what they eat. There is always so much emphasis on what they can’t have, rather than an excitement for all the amazing foods they get to enjoy. I think a book like this will be good to show them that there are other kids that eat fermented foods, and enjoy FCLO.
Throw a villian in there (endless supply here I.e. Monsanto) along with some adversity (fast food on every corner, public school lunches. .. well, endless supply here too) with the final victory (every home/community/school growing their own food and living with abundant health) you have in the making of a very profitable documentary at the minimum and/or Life changing Disney – like movie…….
There I go again dreaming. Let’s just start with the book and make sure there are a lot of pictures ;)
I am truly grateful for this upcoming resource for our community, and believe the children will benefit greatly from it!
I’m really excited for this book too! I’m sure it’ll be great. In a fun way, I would love for my kids to learn the consequences of eating poorly compared to the rewards of eating wisely. Can’t wait for the book!
So great! I would love for my children to see/hear how families around the world celebrate meal time together. Who is at the table? When is the main meal eaten? Are there other traditions that go along with the eating of the meal? I’m very excited about this. Thanks for all of your hard work.
What a great idea! I’d love my daughter to read this and understand that it is OK to eat differently than most of her friends do. It seems to be the thing I hear about the most. Thanks for the chance to win and for all your hard work!
Thanks. Tammy! Our goal is for children to learn through the adventures of Andrew Price that when we eat real food that is traditionally prepared … when we eat the diet intended for human beings, we enjoy the benefits of robust health. When we eat so called food products, we start to see and experience dis-ease.
I would love for my children to learn why we eat the way we do, and why I choose not to eat the food that most people serve at partys. And why sugar and packaged foods/etc are not good for us and what they are doing to our bodies even though they may taste good. And I would love for them to know and understand that even though those cupcakes, or cakes, or candy or chips may taste really good to them, it’s a better choice not to eat them or to fill up on them. And I would love for them to learn to think or ask questions prior to eating something – where is this from, Is it from a box or from nature, should I be eating it, etc. I would love for them to understand that it’s wise to eat nourishing foods.
I love it! Thank you Erin. I would love all of those things as well.
GREAT idea and much needed! I teach 2nd grade part time and work as a Nutritional therapist too. I have thought about writing a children’s book to depict how we eat. I think it’s important to let kids know how processed food is made- where it comes from and what makes it unhealthy- remember the rat study where one group ate the cereal box and the other group the cereal- the box eating group lived longer! And this results in comparing the processed food to real food. Can’t wait to see the book! My son will love it and I can recommend it to other clients with kids!
You’ve got my wheels spinning…. What about board books with the ABC’s of WAP eating? Apple Cider Vinegar, Broth, Chicken, etc. Or nonfiction books showing pics of healthy families and the meals they eat?
:) Thanks for all your work in promoting WAP principles.
Thanks so much! There are several books and projects coming down the pipeline!
This is wonderful news, I am really excited! Don’t we all struggle with how to explain to our kids why we eat differently than most families. There are so many questions coming our way and it would be really helpful to have a book tailored to our kids to convey the same messages we try to get across to our children day by day. Sometimes, they believe more what is written in a book than what we try to teach them, so we could all use this extra support!
The importance of family mealtime. From my observation of hundreds of families this is becoming a lost art, in my opinion.
Here is aquote that I start my family meals with: (From-Come to the Table, by Doris Christopher)
“Savor the moments you spend at the table surrounded by people you love. Commit them to memory– store them deep in your archives–so that you can relive them at will, because these special days are the jewels in life’s crown And while we may not fully appreciate them at the time, racing back and forth with our platters and bowls, we look back on them later through the softening filter of time as the very best days of our live.”
― Doris Christopher
Her book includes the following chapters.
* Celebrations
* Sundays
* Teenagers and the Table~ * Winter Comforts
* Communities, Neighbors, and Friends
* Holidays
* The Children’s Hour
* Summer Pleasures* Family Reunions
* Reaching Out
Here is another one of her quotes which I share often at my table: “The kitchen table is where we mark milestones, divulge dreams, bury hatchets, make deals, give thanks, plan vacations, and tell jokes. It’s also where children learn the lessons that families teach: manners, cooperation, communication, self-control, values.”
Very nice, Shan. Great post.
What a great idea to write a children’s book!!!
I would love for it to include the theme that eating nourishing/traditional foods isn’t weird, like so many kids are told by friends or even adults when they see out hear what they eat. They need to be encouraged that the way they eat isn’t weird, or its not weird or nerdy to take care of yourself. But in fact the sad diet is the one that is new and weird and harmful.
Can’t wait!
I would like the book to include about why we should be proud of the way we eat, but also a part that may include how to be tolerant of how others’ eat? I think most of us agree that preaching to others about the food they are eating isn’t great. Don’t know how you would include that, but we learn about tolerance on so many other levels, should there be one in the book as well?
Awesome idea for a book designed to capture children’s imaginations around the concept of nourishing foods. How many of us have witnessed the airplane fork or spoon at the table. Or the marching army of peas on the plate. Now being able to actually envision where all those marching armies of food go into our bodies and what they do for us to “grow up big & strong” is a life changing reality for children to take with them into adulthood. I would also like to see in the book how & why children should take care of their teeth and what is the best “tooth soap” for cleaning them without chemicals (fluoride). Maybe a trip to visit the dentist ie: Dr. Price himself. I finally had to buy my 6 yo son a battery operated tooth brush in order to get him to have fun while brushing his teeth. The lengths we all go to, to accomplish raising healthy kids!
This literary work will most certainly fill a void in put community! I can’t tell you how excited our family is to have an additional tool to properly educate our children to the teachings of Dr. Price. He is a hero is our household and so is the Nourishing Our Children team! We will be more than happy to support this project!
Sorry for the typos! I’m on my phone! :)
Thank you for your support!
My 7yo son loves cooking, so it would be awesome if the book contains information on how the people Dr. Price visited processed their food, and what’s the reason and/or benefit behind such cooking method (e.g. using hot stones/wood fire, no microwaving, etc.)
Our family finds it important to show ways (especially Africa) had to be self sustaining or they would not have survived the time before other countries gave them so much “help”. Could it be our “help” has turned them into the third world countries they became?
We also would like to see celebrations that center on real food and not the sugar laden ones of today. We think of a birthday party and out comes the cake and soda. What if Kombucha and a fermented dish came out instead?
Since we live in Alaska, we are most definitely interest in how the indigenous people are portrayed and that the traditional foods they ate are accurate. There are a lot of poor food choices among the native groups now although traditional foods are incorporated still. I think if it were done well (accurately, informative without being patronizing), it could be helpful in teaching the native youth of today. All the best to you as you develop this!
I’m curious what age group the book will target?
My kids have a difficult time understanding why other people eat “junk food,” especially people who seem healthy. My kids don’t feel sick, so they need lots of encouragement and examples why this way of life is healthier and why everything found in a grocery store isn’t food.
On the flip side, I have to remind them regularly not to accuse people of being fat/unhealthy because they are eating ___. They see someone who is obese and assume it’s because they eat too many sweets.
So, basically, I guess what I’m saying is I would love to see a book that incorporates how to live a WAP life in today’s world, helping others to understand without judging.
Thank you!!
We envision this can be read to children who are old enough to understand the concepts, and a child of any age who can read: http://adventuresofandrewprice.com/Book-Preview.pdf
I love the idea of a children’s book (I thought of it myself!). When I was thinking about writing a children’s book I thought about the WHY questions. Why do we eat this way? Why does it matter? I also think children would enjoy learning about how junk foods are made vs. real food. I work hard to make sure that my son knows that not all cookies, hamburgers, pizza and french fires are bad. It is the ingredients they use and the corners they cut that make the modern versions of these foods harmful. We made wonderful real food versions of these foods at home.
Hi Sandrine,
So excited to see this project happening!!! It is so needed. I look forward to sharing the book with my patients and friends. I’d love to see the important parts of Dr. Price’s studies highlighted, and I know they’ll be included. Some reference to the importance of healthy animal fats would go so far in counter balancing all of the negative messaging kids (and parents) get regarding quality fats. Perhaps something that really illustrates this – like a drawing with a sickly, frowning child with rotten teeth eating processed, low fat margarine ‘treats’ and the boy showing him/her that the buttery treat made with real food ingredients is tastier and healthier and will help her find her happy place, feel better and smile with strong teeth? I’m sure what ever you come up with, with the other input you’ve gotten here, will be so helpful.
Thanks!
Summer Waters
Wow! This is an absolutely exciting endeavor! This is much needed material. I would love to see all of the diverse but common ingredients from different areas of the globe. It would help children learn to see how cultures with such diverse cuisines all originate from nourishing food traditions with common ingredients so, no matter their background/s they would be able to make wise choices in their lives in this fast-paced world where convenience and taste are at the forefront of our lives.
It is so important to mention that real food IS tasty, that processed foods are lab-made full of chemicals to MAKE them taste good but fresh foods are much healthier and tastier and doesn’t need adulterating. I constantly remind my kids of this when they are tempted by junk foods when we go out. A lil salt or some herbs can go a long way and they enjoy it better too. Knowing HOW to prepare food is the most important step to enjoying healthy meals. So finally, a simple recipe or two seems fitting (coconut milk ice cream or any milk recipe with mapke syrup…ground meat and liver kebabs seasoned with garlic, salt, pepper and other common herbs..for example)
Thanks so much and good luck! I will be sure to buy several as gifts as I constantly reach out to friends and family about shifting back to using traditional ingredients in our traditional home cooking
Thanks for your feedback, your support and desire to order several books!
What a wonderful idea! I hope that the book will emphasize how each culture had their own traditional foods but there were certain principles that were true to them all. We work hard to teach our children history and to expose them to different cultures through travel, and this will be a wonderful resource to include as they grow. I look forward to seeing the project come together!
We will definitely make that point that each culture had their own traditional foods but there were certain principles that were true to them all!
I’m excited about this book! I would love if the book could help my children understand the basic principles of the WAPF diet. I want them to see that there is a connection between eating nutrient-dense foods and their health, and of course avoiding refined and artificial foods. Would love it if there could be a part where some kids are taking their cod liver oil and eating sacred foods! Also would love if there was a part that showed grains being fermented, to help them understand that grains can be healthy, but only if prepared properly! Maybe a topic for another book, but I also want my children to understand what GMOs are and why we need to avoid them.
What a great book that I could read to my children. All the others say “eat low-fat milk”, or the food pyramid and what they think is normal to eat is actually bad for the child. (also like how they say that fluoride in toothpaste is OK or suggesting to vaccinate to keep keeps safe which is both poison), . I can’t wait to read it and would love to win. :-)
I’d love for children to know WHY chemicals aren’t good for our bodies. Last night while conversing with my 8-year-old she kept asking me why chemicals are bad? Don’t they make things easier for us? I explained that while yes, this is true…and we are lucky that we have enough technology to help with some things, this can also be taken too far in that nothing we eat is free of chemicals!
This looks great!
If I were to read such book to my kids, I would like to travel with them to different countries and experience the geography and weather of each country, what does the geographical and weather conditions allow to grow (plants and animals) and what does each country/culture like to eat as traditional foods. This would be a very nice perspective to see what kids and adults in other countries eat as their signature, traditional and cultural foods. I would really like to read that :-)
We will definitely be covering this Misa! This is at the heart of our intention!
Since I will not be able to afford this book, I am leaving a comment. I am 60, and raised my three children in as healthy a manner as I had knowledge of at the time; I made their baby food myself with a blender. I became aware of organics, which were not available when I was raising children, when the internet became available and searchable, and in researching my own physical issues I became aware of a better way to eat. My oldest children complained about the food they ate, as it was different from their friends, but my oldest daughter has since thanked me for the start in healthier foods I gave her, and my youngest daughter is raising her two little ones to love healthy foods. This book would be a wonderful addition to the library of secondhand books I read to them when they come over. They love gardens, so since their mom has no time to garden, I gave them each their own little container garden with tomatoes, chives (they eat them raw!), baby bok choi, and kale. They got to harvest their own veggies for a meal recently and were thrilled, and can hardly wait for their tomatoes to ripen (cherry tomatoes). They love green foods, so their mom is doing a great job.
I would like my child to know that just because they don’t eat the food that their friends eat – they are not outcasts, weird, or odd. They are getting more nutrients that their bodies need. Every house has different “house rules” and eating healthy is important (veggies are a must).
I’m a pregnant naturopathic doctor looking for a book just like this! I’d love a colourful kid-friendly reference to recommend to patients who shrug and say that their kid eats “typical kid food” which is often prepared separately from the rest of the family meal. I’d love the book to contain reflections on cultural diversity around food norms – kids in a variety of cultures eating the local foods because that is what’s available, traditional, delicious (when we’re not prejudiced against the food by western society), and life-sustaining. I grew up in a poorer family thinking that Kraft Dinner must be expensive because I only ever had it at my richer friend’s house. My mother made everything from scratch and the kids ate what was being served at the table. Growing up I ate organ meats, every kind of vegetable, and I still like anchovies on my (homemade) pizza! I was never taught that these foods were “weird” or “gross” – they were just “dinner” and “fuel” for my body. Thank you for taking on this project! It is much needed for today’s families.
I totally agree with Erin…. and I would also love to see some of the consequences (health and social) that Dr. Price noted with the next generation for those that abandoned their traditional diet. I can’t wait to get a copy of this book!
Thank you for your contribution, Barbara!
I think this is a simply delightful idea!! Perhaps it’s a second book, but I could see a subplot or second plot with a child in one of the traditional societies whose parents have moved away from their traditional diet (or perhaps the child has), and when he/she sees the sad results, returns to the traditional diet happily!
Sounds like a good movie!
I think it would be great to include a connection between ecosystem health and personal health- we need to eat good quality foods to be healthy and we need a healthy ecosystem to create good quality food. Maybe talk about healthy soil and rapidly growing grass as an example. Or clean water to catch fish from.
Andrew needs a sister (Sally?) who is shown buying traditional foods and cooking them in her kitchen, and showing her family and herself having a meal together.
The adventures of a boy would not have interested me as a girl, no matter how well done it is. Like many girls, I had primarily domestic interests such as food, cooking, and feeding my family. Please include a girl who brings the story to the here and now. How does this all work in a real community, a real kitchen, in a real family (as seen through the eyes of a young girl)?
Thank you for your feedback! We will consider it for sure!
I love this suggestion. Thank you.
Speechlessly thrilled by this literary gift to the world. Nutrition is hard work and a gift to the next generation. LOVE all this! Will buy many copies for all those i love and even the grandparent generation who dont have a clue. :-). I would love to see a piece about strong minds and characters from these isolated communities. No violence. And also, how there was a community involvement and sense of deep responsiblity and sharing for all commune members. We care for eachother! We are community, not living in lonely isolation that kills our spirits and bodies. Also, we value simple dress/clothes as well. Highlighting that “fashion” and popularity contrsts through it are modern ways of living and generally take away from simple living values. Minimalism-just a few select toys will do for my child, can this concept be touched on? Lastly, how eating well your whole life is a way to prevent disease, food is indeed medicine noy just something we fill our bellies with. When i look at liver for example, i see the viitamin b-12 i am deficient in and i think about how eating it will help me fight depression and to view food in that way. Thanks so much friends. I am just tickled to death.
Thank you so much for your support Dawn! I love your suggestions!
seaweed!!! don’t forget the seaweeds!
it was a major player in Price’s original list of common attributes and I miss seeing anything about it in popular current foundation-ers’ lists/blogs.
my initial response is…PLEASE don’t use a computer animation. There is such a lack of warmth and life in it. Is it not possible to find an illustrator that actually can draw? The image of the boy in the airplane does not match the richness of this story. Organic beauty is real nourishment.
Agree with your observation. Computer animation alone is kind of like a visual white flour. What made Toy Story so good, though, was the voices of the actors. There was organic beauty in the voices.
Hey Alison,
Thanks for the feedback. I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy the art work. I think it’s a matter of taste and style preference. I mean you clearly enjoy old fashioned hand drawing art, which I like too myself. But there are plenty of books that have been done this way. Same old. I mean almost every children’s book I have seen is a 2D based drawing. Which these days are likely computer generated since even 2D artists use computers to draw. So we think something new will be interesting to the kids with the possibility of making an animation in the future. Which kids love these days.
We have had so much positive feedback about what we are doing. 99% of the time, and we have invested so many hours working to create these scenes. So it doesn’t make sense to go back and change something that so many people like and support.
Here is one of our supporter’s feedback on the boy and plane.
Theresa Bowes, “Hi Sandrine, I’m very excited about your book! The character of Andrew and his plane seem to me to be current and classic at the same time. I feel happy when I look at them.”
Maybe you will love the next book?!
I really like the look of hand drawn illustrations myself. As Mohammad observed however, a lot of what looks like hand drawn illustration is created on a computer these days. One draws on the computer.
I myself created these illustrations on the computer for my client Monica Corrado: http://www.cookingforwell-being.com/ and http://simplybeingwell.com/
The reason I was open to 3D models as a basis for this book is because it can be animated, and cartoon like artwork is popular with children. We don’t have the funding necessary to have an illustrator create 2D illustrations for the book and then start from scratch to animate the story. 3D allows for more future possibilities.
Pixar animation appeals to many these days and that is what Mohammad modeled after.
Three of my girls (ages 9, 6, 5) like the artwork but my 8 year old son doesn’t care for it as much. I personally think it’s very modern and most kids nowadays will be used to that sort of illustration.
My 5 and 3 year olds loved the exerpt I read to them and when I asked them what they thought of the pictures my 5 year old said they were really nice and my 3 year old said they were “very very special” :) This generation is certainly used to computer graphics :) I didn’t question the graphic at all at first – when I read this comment I did have the thought that if presented a hand drawn pic and computer drawn pic I would probably be drawn more to the hand drawn picture. This is definitely a book all about the kids though and I would imagine they are more inclined to computer graphics.
We parents and grandparents are always up against the best mass drug ever — Sugar. School programs that help kids resist cigarettes have found that pointing out that, unlike the small businesses in one’s community, those big tobacco (and “food”) corporations don’t care about the harm they cause. Kids are like grown-ups– we don’t like being lied to or exploited. When kids see that fast food and processed foods are just a way to make money, knowing full well the harm to health they cause, they will be able to cope with withdrawal from Junk Food.
In other words, all of us, young and old, care about fairness. We want fairness for farm animals, for farmers, for school children (the food in school cafeterias is UNfair to ALL except the food vendors), and for Mother Earth.
Maybe you think modern kids won’t enjoy old-fashioned illustrations. But the pictures in the current version of the book are so . . . plastic, so Disney-esque. (Disney being one of the biggest promoters of junk food.)
We don’t like modern food having so many synthetics added, why not have illustrations that emulate the real food we advocate?
There are many more cozy styles you could choose from:
Classic 20’s illustrations, as found in The real Mother Goose: http://www.amazon.com/Real-Mother-Goose-Board-Book/dp/0590003682
Beatrix Potter is well-loved, as in The Tale of Peter Rabbit.
Or how about the bright colors and simple images in Goodnight Moon?
The Dick and Jane primer style is charming, only now it would be done with more diversity (Latino, Asian, African, and Native American heritage).
I’m especially fond of Maud and Miska Petersham’s illustrations. My copy of their 1933 Story Book of Food has a lovely gurnsey cow on the cover! http://www.pinterest.com/kitwil77/maud-and-miska-petersham-children-s-book-illustrat/
Maybe impressionist illustrations would be just right. The Man Who Planted Trees is one of my favorite movies, done in pastels (unlike the book, which was stark black and white woodcuts): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_7yEPNUXsU
OK, maybe you’re committed to the current illustrations, but one book won’t be enough! The next one could be softer and more reminiscent of the decades before 1945, back when the food Americans ate was almost good enough.
P.S.
I agree with DrSeanReese, the spice of a villain keeps the reader turning the pages. For instance, Toy Story has a Vicious Neighbor Boy who put wheels on legless baby dolls, and his teeth are strange.
Also Elizabeth Stuart is right, Andrew needs a girl cousin. Or have 4 or 5 kids on the adventure to represent a variety of ethnicities— Latino, Native Americans, Asian, African, and European.
I’d like to see some goats in the story. Through WP website I recently found a goat farm with 99 milkers. I shepherd 143 goats out past the farm fields to take care of vegetation that overgrows under the power lines. The goats eat willow bark — and you cannot kill a willow tree — it grows into a whole new tree when you cut it down. The goats eat red fireweed, they eat blackberries, they eat buttercups (weeds), grass, and more. I’d talk to everyone on the farm http://stjohncreamery.com/ to provide the authors of this book with a well-rounded version of how they make cheese, kefir, etc.
I also want everyone to know that I am feeling so much stronger, less than 1 week after drinking raw goat milk kefir. I have trouble digesting milk, especially cow’s milk, but it only takes 24 hours of sitting for goat milk kefir & with bananas and honey it taste’s amazing. An acupuncturist, I’ve been working to improve my health since elementary school, 35 years ago. This raw milk is key to unlock some deep-seated bronchitis I had through high school. Whatever the bug is, it’s on its way out, and so your information also needs to get out. Thank you!
“I love it. It’s crisp, clean, modern and visually conveys the idea that Dr. Price’s message still flies today.”
I just read the exerpt of the book to my girls and they were captivated! We are very excited to read it!
(by the way I did ask them what they thought of the pictures – my 5 year old said they were really nice and my 3 year old said they looked very very special ;) )
We were very happy to read that feedback, Renee! Thank you!
Sorry to repeat myself, but as a teacher in California, I hope you will have Andrew visit the Peruvian indigenous culture, who are as close as Dr. Price got to the ancestors of 70% of my students (whose parents or grandparents came here from Mexico and Central America).
Have you heard of the “Mexican Paradox”? Newcomers from south of the border tend to be healthier than their cousins who have been here for years. Even in the very bad economy in Mexico, where meat is too expensive for regular consumption, these mothers know how to make the most of what they can afford. The more traditional moms who just got here are still cooking for their children, using lard and meat and fresh veggies. The Americanized mothers may have gotten a job (or three) and don’t have time to make food from scratch.
Obviously, another important minority to include are the Masai and others tribes so that African American children can feel represented.
I am so grateful you are producing this book and can’t wait to share it with my students and granddaughter!
