Finally a day that is hard to celebrate using children's literature...International Coffee Day. I found it difficult to find any picture books featuring coffee, probably because it is not something associated with children. There's plenty of books that feature tea though, so why not coffee?The Biography of Coffee outlines the journey of the coffee bean to being made into coffee ready to drink, so it fits in well with the aims of this year's International Coffee Day...
International Coffee Organization has chosen a very special theme for this year’s celebrations: ‘Women in Coffee’. Women play as important a role in the whole of the coffee chain as men, from planting the seeds to processing to trading to brewing… and drinking it.So it is very fitting that this book has a woman on the cover! Go have a cup of coffee and think about the women who were involved in its production and perhaps you can think of how coffee could feature in a picture story book.
