Join us for story time with local author Mia Wenjen, author of The Traveling Taco.

Mia will read her newest release and do an origami french fry craft!

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.

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!

Explore the history of kids’ favorite foods from around the world in this mouthwatering rhyming picture book.
Mia Wenjen blogs at PragmaticMom.com.

She is also the co-creator and president of nonprofit, Read Your World.

Her picture books include We Sing From the Heart (Red Comet Press), an Orbis Pictus Recommended Book for Outstanding Nonfiction for Children, a California Eureka Non-Fiction Award Honor Book, and a Junior Library Guild Gold Selection; Food for the Future: Sustainable Farms Around the World (Barefoot Books, 2023); Boxer Baby Battles Bedtime!

(Eifrig Publishing, 2024); and Sumo Joe (Lee and Low, 2019).

Tickets for this event are free, but we ask that all guests register in advance to help us with planning.

Drop-ins are always welcome!
