About the Book: Our Rice Tastes of Spring

CELEBRATING HEIRLOOM RICE, TRADITIONAL FARMING AND EATING CLEAN AS CHILDREN CONNECT WITH NATURE AND THE FOOD THEY EAT.

Rice is not just food. It is tradition, life and love for the farmer and forest communities that nurture the paddy crop in the golden fields of Chota Nagpur region of Jharkhand.

Jinid and her family cherish their vibrant, heirloom grains—red, brown, purple and black—that have a story to tell. But then a stranger arrives with the promise of growing whiter rice and faster. Will they trade their heritage for quick money?

With its breathtaking yet earthy illustrations, this book is a celebration of eating clean and local and the magic of natural produce. Its just what we all need to connect back to the land, the farmers who tend crops and the wonder of real food. A feast for the senses and the soul!..
