A Rescue Feast

By: Lacombe, Kathryn

A Rescue Feast is a 32-page illustrated picture book that explores food rescue, sustainability, and community through a story rooted in real-world experience.

When a summer storm threatens to spoil ripe tomatoes in his grandfather's garden, a young boy helps harvest them before they're lost. What begins as a simple act of care grows into something more. In a community kitchen, the rescued tomatoes are transformed into nourishing meals for neighbors in need.

Blending storytelling with early science concepts-including seed germination, plant life cycles, pollination, and composting-A Rescue Feast offers natural connections to classroom learning and meaningful discussion.

With themes of stewardship, service, and resourcefulness, the book invites young readers to consider how small actions can make a difference in their communities and the environment-and offers a natural fit for read-alouds and elementary classroom connections.
