La Bloga: Children’s Books Celebrate Basics: Eating, Learning

Tagged: , , ,

“In Yum! ¡MmMm! ¡Qué rico! Americas’ Sproutings ($16.95 hardcover) by Pat Mora, we are introduced to the wonderful foods grown in the Americas such as corn, chile, tomatoes, peanuts and papayas.

Mora, an El Paso native and award-winning author of more than 25 books, uses haiku to describe each food. For example, here’s her paean to chocolate:

Fudge, cake, pie, cookies.
Brown magic melts on your tongue.
Happy, your eyes dance.”*
