Grandpa Cacao: A Tale of Chocolate from Farm to Family by Elizabeth Zunon. PICTURE BOOK. Bloomsbury, 2019. $18. 9781681196404
BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL, MS - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
A girl and her father are baking a chocolate cake for her birthday celebration. While they are getting ready, they talk about what she wants for her big day and her father reminds her of her own Grandfather who makes a living growing cacao in the Ivory Coast. When mom returns, she has a very special surprise for her.
Another perfect lesson opener. For elementary it can be a starter for a cooking lesson, a chocolate lesson (plus tasting!), or a discussion about the connectivity of the world’s economy. Same for middle school. I love it!
