The Traveling Taco by Mia Wenjen, illustrated by Kimberlie Clinthorne-Wong
An exploration of the history of kids’ favorite foods from around the world
From pizza to pasta and ice cream to French fries, some of our favorite foods have a surprising history, and many of them have traveled far from where they originated! Did you know many well-known dishes are food immigrants? The Al Pastor Taco traveled from Lebanon to Puebla, Mexico! French fries originated in Belgium! And pasta arrived in Italy long before Marco Polo visited China. This fascinating nonfiction book featuring rhyming text takes the reader on travels around the world to celebrate foods, their history, and surprising origins. Join Mia Wenjen for a fact-packed journey of discovery that will make your mouth water as you travel the unexpected road of some of our favorite foods. [nonfiction picture book, ages 5 and up]

Congratulations Mia and everyone involved. This is going to be a very interesting read and I’m sure there’s lots to be learned that even adults didn’t know. This is a great compliment to Food for the Future too. Now I am hungry, thanks.
I would love to add this book to intro social studies unit where we learn about all the different aspects that make up culture. We love focusing on food in culture and prepare a feast where they bring in dishes from their background.
Books about food are so great for kids! Especially if they are (picky) eaters or are not exposed to many different foods. I’d love to read this in my classroom to encourage conversations about food and maybe be inspired to make some of the foods!
This sounds like a fantastic book to share with young readers! Happy Book Birthday!
Do you have any advice for new writers?
Can never forget “On Top of Spaghetti”! Congratulations on your book birthday!
We love tacos around here and can’t wait to read your latest book!
I’m so looking forward to reading this! My pre-ordered copy has shipped from B&N. Can’t wait to dig in!
