A Taste of the World

What do people eat on the other side of the world? How do they celebrate? And what does the food on their table tell us about who they are? A Taste of the World takes young readers on a journey through global cultures through the most universal of lenses: food. From heartwarming meals shared on special occasions to everyday ingredients that bring families together, each spread is filled with vibrant illustrations and fun facts that spark curiosity and conversation. Children discover the stories behind beloved global celebrations — Japanese cherry blossom festivals, American Thanksgiving, and many more — and learn how, despite our differences, food has always been the thread that connects us. A book that opens the world, one bite at a time. Created by Beth Walrond, a British illustrator whose work appears in publications including The New York Times, The Guardian and Wired. The inspiration behind this book came directly from her volunteer work leading art workshops for child refugees — a deeply personal project born from a desire to find what unites us, no matter where we live.
