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 recipes and an author’s note about the volunteering experience that inspired the book.
Our Little Kitchen by Jillian Tamaki is a story of neighbors coming together to cook a large meal for their community. Their resourcefulness is showcased throughout as they make use of food from their garden, donated food and food that may be a little old or bruised. Relying on their own ingenuity they create a delicious meal in a tiny space. It’s a beautiful picture of organized chaos coming together to put a delicious meal on the table for the whole community. There is rhyming and beautiful illustrations. A little context on what a community kitchen is would really support the story a little more in this board book.
