Like the anonymous orange-gloved hands in Pumpkin Circle, here white gloves grow, thresh, and grind the wheat, then mix, knead, and bake it into bread. A clean design and vibrant color photos that accompany the simple rhyming text make this a hearty look at the staff of life. An afterword includes a recipe and explains more about wheat and the baking process.
