This Month’s Book:
Alice Waters and the Trip to Delicious
Written by: Jacqueline Briggs Martin
Illustrated by: Hayelin Choi
Alice Waters has always loved fresh food. This is where her trip to Delicious began. Alice’s trip to Delicious continued to France, where she learned more about tasty, fresh food. She wanted everyone to experience the feeling of having a meal full of fresh fruits and vegetables with friends and family. But how? She opened a restaurant in California to help people gain an appreciation for great food. She learned about the local agriculture, and how important the soil and farmers’ jobs were. She didn’t stop there! She helped transform an empty parking lot into an Edible Schoolyard, so that local students could experience fresh foods, and she continued on to build many Edible Schoolyards. Alice wants everyone to experience a trip to Delicious!
