Join Luca on his journey to find out where the food on his dinner plate comes from. A trip to Nan's farm teaches him that food is not made at the supermarket. Luca learns that potatoes grow underground, tomatoes hang from vines and peas grow in pods. Nan shows Luca around the farm where he has the opportunity to meet a new friend; a playful pig! The pig rolls over for a belly rub - just like his beloved dog, Sam. The book gently and tastefully describes that, unlike vegetables, meat is made from animals. After seeing that the pig is no different from his dog, Luca makes the decision to stop eating animals.
This light-hearted rhyming book is written for children who want to learn about where their food comes from. It aims to foster a connection between the food on their plate and the animals that they love. The overriding message of the book is that people should act with compassion and show kindness to all kinds.
Luca's Adventure from Table-to-Farm is perfect for children who are animal-lovers, vegan/vegetarian or vegan/vegetarian curious.
Sample text:
Welcome! Nan calls let me show you around.
Here is where your mash comes from as she points to the ground.
Confused, I said, we get potatoes from the stores.
Mum giggles and says, this is why we brought you outdoors.
