@ Amazon | Bookshop
Booktalk: You probably have some form of maize, wheat, rice, potatoes. From London to Lagos to Los Angeles, these staple foods dominate our breakfast bowls, lunch boxes, and dinner tables. In today’s world, more than half of the calories that we consume come from maize, wheat, and rice alone. How did this happen?
In a journey that spans continents and time periods, readers aged 9 to 12 will see these crops as the building blocks of our world and dive deep into the science of botany. The hands-on STEM activities include recipes and QR codes that link to primary sources, videos, and other relevant websites.
