Right This Very Minute: A Table-to-Farm Book about Food and Farming

This informational picture book follows the work behind food eaten throughout the day. At breakfast, a grower checks oranges for ripeness, a farmer prepares to plant wheat for flour, and a sugarmaker tends sap for maple syrup. The book continues through snacks, lunch, dinner, and dessert to show how food depends on people who grow, tend, process, and pack it. Its examples range from backyard chickens and community gardens to beekeepers, family farms, orchards, ranches, and groves. A recurring phrase links food at the table with work happening at farms and other production sites.
