From the New York Times-bestselling artist. âExact, masterful cut-paper illustrations bring the marketâs smells, produce, bustle and cheery people to life.â âKirkus Reviews (starred review) WINNER: Washington State Book Award, Childrenâs Picture Books Known for art that celebrates the virtues of community, hard work, and living gently on the planet, Nikki McClure here explores a topic close to her heart: the farmers market. Alternating between story and fact, this lovingly crafted picture book follows a mother and son to the weekly market. As they check off items on their shopping list, the reader learns how each particular food was grown or produced, from its earliest stages to how it ended up at the market. To Market, to Market is a timely book that shines awareness on the skill that goes into making good food. âMcClureâs papercuts of windblown hair, vegetable leaves, craftsmen at work, and beds of hay continue to delight. This is, in effect, two books in one: younger readers can stick to the gentle introductions to sections about kale, smoked salmon, honey, blueberry turnovers, cheese, and even napkins; older children will appreciate (and have the patience to sit through) each productâs path to market.â âPublishers Weekly âAstonishingly detailed.â âSchool Library Journal |
