Off to the Market

  • A celebration of the joy of markets, cooking, and food.

     

    Sunday is market day. We are looking for pumpkin, apples, eggs, and bread. What else will we find? Where did it come from? And what will we make with it?

     

    Learn all about produce in this delightful child’s tour of a food market, full of fun facts, delicious new discoveries, and charming characters.

     

    A loving ode to the people who bring food to our table and connection to our community, from acclaimed artist Alice Oehr.
