“Robustly multicultural.”—Santa Fe New Mexican
“A fun, healthy gift for parents, grandparents, teachers, or anyone with kids and/or an interest in good food and great nutrition.”—Las Cruces Sun-News
“As the White House pastry chef I accompanied many children through Mrs. Obama’s garden on the South Lawn. It never failed to amaze me that they would be more excited to see butterflies, snap peas, tomato flowers, and honeybees than the historical chairs inside the house! We have seen the affinity children have for the natural world, and it shows up clearly in the garden and the kitchen. This book is colorful, innovative, practical, and has delicious recipes that every child can master. It will give children confidence as they develop a deep love of cooking and a healthy relationship with food.”—Bill Yosses, former White House executive pastry chef and founder of Kitchen Garden Laboratory
“Wise, practical, and engaging. I hope that parents and grandparents and especially elementary and preschool educators will put this book to work in their kitchens and classrooms.”—Janet Poppendieck, author of Free for All: Fixing School Food in America
