Thank you to author Alice B. McGinty <\/a>and Little Bee Books  <\/a>for sending us this delicious book to read and review. All opinions are our own! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pancakes to Parathas – Breakfast Around the World<\/em> takes readers on a trip around the world learning all about typical breakfast faire found in different countries. Each page is filled with an introduction to the popular breakfast food, bright and detailed illustrations by Tomoko Suzuki and a closer look at the country’s traditional dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book taught me so much about foods I need to try! Many of foods Alice includes I have not gotten a chance to eat and I’m excited to have learned about them. Some I hadn’t even heard of, while others I knew the name, but didn’t know a lot about the ingredients or history. I love how each page also gives you the proper pronunciation of each word. It also provides a map at the end to show us where each country is locate on the map. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book can add so much to any library collection. While reading it with young kids it helps them have a deeper understanding and appreciation for other cultures. In a classroom I see this as a great resource for studying countries, cultures or traditions. Wherever you choose to share this book, you are sure to come away hungry! (See link below for an awesome Israeli Salad recipe). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alice was kind enough to stop by our blog and tell us the inside scoop of the book, information you wouldn’t know from reading the book. Here’s what she had to say: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea for this book began I saw a photographic article from the New Yorker <\/em>showing pictures of children from around the world eating breakfast. \u201cCould this be a picture book?\u201d I wondered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decided after some thought that it could make a great picture book. But breakfast is complicated. Foods in one country can be very unfamiliar to people from other countries. As I looked at the photos and read the descriptions of the foods, I wondered how I could make breakfasts around the world accessible and understandable to young readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a few weeks, I had an idea. I decided to focus on the things that we had in common. I chose one familiar element from each of the breakfasts, such as \u201cbreakfast in Australia is salty\u201d and \u201cbreakfast in Israel is a homegrown feast\u201d and I worked the text around that. That\u2019s how the book began!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although I’d visited several of the countries in the book (I had a great time chasing down cornmeal porridge in Jamaica and can give you a recipe if you like!), I wanted to find people who were actually from each country, in order to get the breakfast time details needed to make the book truly authentic. I loved the process of finding and communicating with people from each place, and asking them about their memories of breakfasts as a child. This involved reaching out to friends who grew up in, or still lived in, each country. It also gave me the chance to meet new friends. I had a lovely time at an Indian restaurant in my hometown, talking with the owner about his memories of breakfasts in India. Then, as an extra special surprise, he brought me back to the kitchen and had the chef give a demonstration of how to make parathas \u2013 with delicious samples to taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think everyone enjoyed sharing their experiences, and the unique details they gave me helped each country in the book come to life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
