Where do we start?
In this lively, rousing picture book from Caldecott Honoree Jillian Tamaki, a crew of resourceful neighbors comes together to prepare a meal for their community. With a garden full of produce, a joyfully chaotic kitchen, and a friendly meal shared at the table, Our Little Kitchen is a celebration of full bellies and looking out for one another. Bonus materials include a recipe and an author’s note about the volunteering experience that inspired the book.
**STARRED REVIEW**
"Loving ode to community... The sense of fellowship around making and sharing food is sure to hit home, and the undercurrent here—that not everyone can get the food they need—is an important reminder."
**STARRED REVIEW**
"A sense of effervescent improvisation pervades the tale, through its cookery details and the text’s rhythm and design... Exudes vibrancy, warmth, individuality, and purpose."
**STARRED REVIEW**
"By making the collaborative meal preparation visually brilliant, Tamaki injects energy into this life-giving celebration... Convey[s] the power of thrift, collective action, and community-building."
Whether for appetizing story hours, classroom cooking, or inspiration to do good works, this book flows with a love for food and community. * School Library Journal *
Tamaki’s latest is a delight for the senses, bursting with bright colors, enticing scents, and effervescent prose. * Kirkus Revie
