Tiana’s book, Farm to Keiki: Cooking, Gardening and Nutrition with Children, is a wonderful resource for teachers in Hawai‘i. As someone who works with future early childhood educators, finding Hawai‘i specific materials for growing food, respecting the ‘āina, and taking a holistic approach to developing healthy lifestyles in the early years has been challenging. However, after using Tiana’s book, the students were incredibly excited to use it in their practices with young children, and could easily connect to the lessons, recipes, and guidance presented throughout. I look forward to using this text in the years to come, as it already is, and will continue to be, an invaluable resource for our island communities!
I highly encourage everyone who loves young children to read Farm to Keiki! This beautiful book (and amazing website/electronic resources) make is so much fun to explore the outdoors and learn with children about gardening, healthy nutrition and life-long lifestyle choices!
