The Tortilla Factory by Gary Paulsen
In simple and eloquent language, the author pays tribute to a cycle of life -- from seed to plant to tortilla. Workers till the black soil, operate the clanking machinery of the factory, and drive the trucks that deliver the tortillas back into the hands that will plant the yellow seed.
