Excerpt from the Intro:
Since the day you were born, someone has been making you food and serving you meals (that’s the life!). But wait a minute...what’s that on the end of your arm? Why, it’s a hand! And it turns out you need little more than your own two hands and a few ingredients to help yourself to healthy foods...and help the world, while you’re at it! Because from the tip of your nose to the tip of an iceberg, the food we eat affects our bodies, our environment, and even strangers on the other side of the planet. It's amazing but true.

I thought that this book was good, I liked how the recipes were all meat free and vegan and it was also quite educational. The recipes were easy to follow for children and it had the sections and hints too and also when they would need help from an adult - good images in the book too.

This book was beautiful, fun, and well-formatted! I wish I would have known about this book when I was trying to petition for a community garden at a daycare center I worked at. It has a lot of great recipes (the Un-Stick in the Mud Chocolate Smoothie, Sweet Beat Sauce, different types of trail mix) and each page was fun and exciting. I was happy to see it had a guide at the beginning for unfamiliar ingredients, kitchen safety, and why it's important to eat healthy. Some of the recipes were a little complicated and didn't have easily-accessible items in the rural area I live in, however. All in all, a great book!

Healthy and fun food made by kids -- a great idea since kids are more likely to eat foods that they helped prepare! Just like kids are more likely to eat foods that they've grown. I think that my students will enjoy eating their way through this book!
