Alice Waters and the Trip to Delicious

"Alice Waters has always
been friends with food.
When she was three years old
she wore food —
a lettuce leaf skirt, radish bracelets,
a necklace of strawberries and a crown of asparagus —
and won first prize in a costume contest.

Little Alice was also looking for Delicious.
And she found it
in fresh green beans
and just-picked blueberries."

“[A] lively biography chronicling the life of one contemporary foodie who has worked to make a difference in children's nutritional lives The art greatly enhances the text, with its varied multitude of cheerful people growing, preparing and enjoying food, as well as the use of different framing techniques and vantage points... An obvious choice in communities that have active Edible Schoolyards, it may spark some interest in communities that do not—yet.”
