Readers to Eaters and Shabazz Larkin were so gracious to donate their books to the ECHO Program. Their books are so helpful in teaching our preschoolers about sustainability and how the living things that surround us help to put food on our table. " Food Literacy from the Ground Up" is what they are all about. Our children will continue to learn and have conversations about growing, cooking and eating food.
