Off to the Market by Alice Oehr

WINNER OF THE 2025 ABDA BEST DESIGNED CHILDREN'S/ YOUNG ADULT SERIES
Sunday is market day. We are looking for pumpkin, apples, eggs, and bread. What else will we find? Where did it come from? And what will we make with it?

Learn all about produce in this delightful child's tour of a food market, full of fun facts, delicious new discoveries, and charming characters.

A loving ode to the people who bring food to our table and connection to our community, from acclaimed artist Alice Oehr.

• A gorgeous gift for young children to inspire a lifelong love of food.
• A wonderful resource for educators and librarians to help students build visual and produce literacy, connecting words for a broad array of produce with images of it, and building a sense of curiosity about trying new foods.
• Just right for fans of Louise Elhert's classics Market Day and Eating the Alphabet, and Chris Butterworth and Lucia Gaggiotti's How Did That Get in My Lunchbox?
