The authors explain that the objective is to help readers understand where their food comes from and how it connects us to the planet. ... The first portion features spreads on planting, composting, biodiversity, growing conditions, and lots of nutritional information, all presented by the book's 'bug squad'--a group of ... cartoon insects who act as guides and provide fun facts throughout. The second portion highlights about [25] healthy recipes that can be made with foods that readers have just learned how to grow, from pesto to hummus to granola"--School Library Journal, 2024.
