Discover the incredible journey of bread in this beautifully illustrated non-fiction picture book for children aged 3-6.
Jess is making sandwiches for her school trip - but where does bread actually come from? Long before it reaches your lunchbox, it begins as a tiny seed planted deep in the soil.
Follow the journey from field to flour to freshly baked bread as farmers, truck drivers, millers and bakers work together to transform tiny grains into soft dough ready for kneading, shaping and baking. Along the way, young readers will also discover the many delicious foods people around the world make with flour, from chapatis and bao to noodles, dumplings and burritos.
With warm, stylish artwork and accessible storytelling, this engaging introduction to farming and baking bread helps children understand where their food comes from - and how something as simple as a sandwich connects people across the world.
Includes a simple flatbread recipe for children to try at home
Perfect for curious young readers who love machines, cooking and finding out how things work
Supports EYFS and KS1 topics on food, farming and understanding the world
