How Do You Eat Color?

By Mabi David

Book Overview

"Truly engaging . . . lyrical and vibrant." -- Booklist (STARRED REVIEW)

A day's journey through a rainbow of fruits and vegetables.

Do you know how red tastes? What about blue, orange, purple, or even white? As a boy, a girl, and their chameleon go through their day, they meet a bounty of colorful fruits and vegetables. They wake up with bright tomatoes and hibiscus, taste sunshine in yellow pineapples and mangoes, yawn with purple yams, and drift off to sleep as the colors darken to black.

Translated from Filipino, this imaginative book features produce harvested from the Philippines and around the world. Whether children love carrots, moringa, dragon fruit, eggplants, or red beans, How Do You Eat Color? offers them dozens of different--and delicious--opportunities to eat something new. Engaging back matter after the story will help readers explore healthy eating and learn ways to incorporate plants into their meals.
