The Traveling Taco: The Amazing and Surprising Journey of Many of Your Favorite Foods

40 pp. | Red Comet | May, 2025 | Trade ISBN 9781636551319 $18.99
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Kimberlie Clinthorne-Wong. This picture book introduces the history of foods that are both at-once familiar (ice cream, pizza) and perhaps less so (pavlova, ceviche). Accompanied by vibrant illustrations, each spread describes what the food is, its origins, and how it changed when introduced to other peoples or countries. The book does indeed include some surprising facts (fish and chips have Jewish roots!); readers are likely to learn more about their favorite recipes -- or be inspired to try new ones.
