A young family is forced to leave the land they love in search of a new home. Poisoned soils and dried up rivers have made farming impossible.
Holding onto memories of humble ingredients, Papa learns how to make a different kind of cheese and the long and slow process of waiting begins.
As the seasons pass, the cheese matures and time for a stamp approaches.
Will the cheese wheels make the mark?
A stamp, is what the family is waiting for too.
From the award-winning author of A Lion’s Mane, Dreams of Hope: a Bedtime Lullaby and The Garden of Peace. Another thoughtful title for your collection.
We Are Cheesemakers brings ideas of food and climate justice to the forefront. This story shares the weight carried by migrant agricultural workers waiting for a stamp, so they too can have a place to call home.
You are invited to come, gather and eat.
