The Follow My Food Pack helps children discover where the foods they enjoy every day really come from — and the animals and people who help make them. Through four beautifully illustrated stories, young readers follow the journeys of milk, honey, eggs, and fruit from farm to table. Along the way, they learn about care for animals, the importance of farmers, and the value of patience and teamwork in growing and producing food.
Perfect for Early Learning Centres, the Follow My Food Pack supports early lessons in sustainability, healthy eating, and environmental awareness. It encourages curiosity about the natural world and appreciation for the processes behind what we eat — helping children connect the dots between nature, nurture, and nourishment.
