In this fascinating book, young children can learn all about what people in other countries eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as where our food comes from, and the stories, cultures and traditions behind what we eat.

A unique, warm-hearted book that will teach children understanding, empathy and respect of differing experiences, cultures and tradition.

With engaging, colourful artwork on every page by award-winning illustrator Harriet Lynas.

"When my two were little, this would have been a favourite book, something that showed them the world, introduced different foods and cultures, had some amazing facts and that I - rather selfishly - would have enjoyed and learnt from too" - Diana Henry, Waitrose Weekend

"Engaging information, combined with colourful illustrations, makes this a winning choice for any budding young chef" - GQ Magazine

Laura Mucha is ex-lawyer turned award-winning poet and author. Some of her writing is funny (or at least she hopes it is . . . ), but some is serious and addresses important things that aren't always talked about. She often thinks about how we live and what we can do to make our lives, and the lives of others, a little bit better.

Her writing has won multiple international awards and been featured on TV, radio and public transport, as well as in hospitals, hospices, prisons, books, magazines and newspapers around the world. When she isn't writing, she spends her time visiting schools around the world and working with organisations such as UNICEF to try to improve the lives of children. She is also Author-in-Residence in the Department of Public Health & Primary Care, University of Cambridge.

Laura has travelled to every continent of the world (at least twice!) and now lives in London with her husband and son.

ED SMITH is an award-winning food and recipe writer. After leaving a career as a lawyer for a life in food, he trained as a chef, worked briefly in restaurants and pop-ups, and now cooks, consults, writes, and spends a bit too much time on social media (@rocketandsquash). His cookbooks include 'Crave; recipes arranged by flavour to suit your mood and appetite', which was named cookery book of the year in 2022, 'On the Side' and 'The Borough Market Cookbook'. And he regularly contributes recipe columns to the likes of Waitrose Food, Waitrose Weekend, BBC Good Food magazine, Delicious and The Sunday Times Magazine.
Ed and his work have won and been shortlisted on multiple occasions for numerous awards, including Best Cookery Book, Best Cookery Writer and Best Food Writer at both The Fortnum and Mason Food and Drink Awards, and the Guild of Food Writers Awards.
His next book, 'Good Eggs', will be published March 2024.
