Where Does our Food Come from?
by Julia Dürr
Most of the time we don’t exactly know where the food that lands on our table comes from. This picture book explains the production process of different foods in a clear and detailed way and also shows the differences between small and large companies: the path of milk on a farm and in a dairy business, fishing on a boat and fish breeding on a fish farm. Or how bread is made in a small bakery as compared to its production in a baking factory. A book that offers exciting insights and a lot of “aha-moments” for young and old.
