Before we eat, many people must work very hard―planting grain, catching fish, tending animals, and filling crates. In this book, vibrantly illustrated by Caldecott Medalist Mary Azarian, readers find out what must happen before food can get to our table to nourish our bodies and spirits. Color Woodcuts

Pat Brisson's eloquent poem in Before We Eat; From Farm to Table, illustrated with Mary Azarian's stunnng woodcuts, is the perfect book to share with young children, and indeed family members of any age. It is a gorgeous reminder that our daily dining should not be taken for granted! Our food passes through many hands before it reaches our table.Before We Eat is a lovely way to start any family celebration, particularly Thanksgiving.
This is another of Mary Azarian's illustrated wood cut books. I am a fan of her artistic work> Be sure to Google her to see all of her things. The story line by Pat Brisson is wonderful for pre-school to beginning elementary grades describing how our food comes to the table. It helps children appreciate all the workers that raise the food and transport the food to the grocery store. I am gifting it to my grandson, a kindergartener for the holidays. He helps his Dad plant their garden so this should be a great way to identify how he contributes to the scheme of things. They plant KALE, so the T-shirt in the book on one of the workers which has the printed words, "EAT MORE KALE" should really ring a bell.
This book was a gift for my daughter-in-law who used it as part of one of her graduate classes. She was to design a unit for primary students in conjunction with a farm/manufacturing museum in central PA. Her teacher loved the tie-in as well as the museum director. The book is now there as part of a display on the differences in farming, then and now.I loved it for the clear, non-patronizing language and especially for the art of Mary Azarian.
This is my three year old grandson's new favorite book. He is fascinated by the different jobs the people in the story have. What a great way to teach children where their food comes from and how many different people are involved in the process. The writing is as lyrical and beautiful as the pictures.
This is a beautiful book by one of my favorite Vermont artists. We first encountered this story on a stroll along an interpretive trail at Shelbourne Farms and decided to purchase it at the gift shop there. I love reading this story and marveling at the illustrations on my own but, even better, my two-year-old requests it frequently. The simple text delivers and important message, which is reinforced elegantly with the rustic, vibrant woodcuts. I plan to read it at my Thanksgiving dinner this year. I'm sure it will remain a family favorite for years to come.
Teaches children where foods come from and how many hardworking people are involved in bringing foods they eat to the table. A wonderful book to help children be thankful for all the foods that become available to them through the hard work of others. I wish there were more books out there like this wonderful children's book!
Great information presented beautifully!
WOW! What a beautiful children's story! It sends a great message, and our 3 children love it! I purchased 3 more copies for gifts, what a very sweet book! :-)
