The Readings family is a big fan of Trace Balla and her fourth picture book just makes us love her more. In The Thank You Dish she celebrates community and being grateful for where and how our food arrives on our plate. Grace and Mama sit down to dinner and give thanks for the not so obvious ways they came by their meal. It is a lovely, lateral way of looking at the connections relating to our food and that there is more to it than just a supermarket. Thank you, Trace, for a charming picture book for those aged 2 and up.
