Street Foods from Around the World is a visually appealing book that truly reinforces the idea that “we eat with our eyes.” Illustrations are vivid, colorful, and evoke the excitement of food cultures around the world. I appreciate the choice to highlight the food as it’s prepared by vendors in a specific setting. Young people need to see the labor behind the scenes and celebrate that food comes from individuals working hard each day.

Sweet, savory, or spicy, which would you choose when you explore the world's variety of street foods? Try a delicious trip through these pages. - Ann Woodman, Children’s Librarian, MA This book is beautifully illustrated and super engaging! It’s a great way for kids to learn about different foods from around the world. It also makes them think about their favorite food and where it comes from.
