Cooking is one of my most favorite pastimes. If you’re familiar with the “love languages” feeding people is definitely my love language. I love to make delicious food for friends, my staff at the library, and of course my family. So, it’s not a stretch that I wanted to create a storytime lesson plan all about cooking. I wanted to make sure to provide a multicultural approach to this lesson plan with books from cultures and countries from around the world. This theme definitely has my mouth watering, I’m so hungry just thinking about all of these delicious books!
