A is for acorns, Free for the taking.We leach out the tanninsThen grind them for baking.From Acorns to Zapote fruit, here are all kinds of wonderful fruits, nuts, greens, mushrooms and more to teach children (and their grown ups) about foraging. Each page features a poem and charming illustration about a different wild edible or medicinal plant, with other plants that start with that letter decorating the margins for kids to try to identify. The end pages feature reference photos of all of the additional drawings. Kids can also sign the forager's pledge, keep track of their foraged plants and wish lists, and will be reminded about foraging safety and ethics. With illustrations and reference photos of over 130 wild edible and medicinal plants! This project was funded by a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board.
