Description
Tayta’s life changed a lot when she immigrated from Lebanon. She learnt to speak a new language, got a job in a factory and learnt to drive a car. But one thing that never changed, was the food she cooked for her family.
On Sundays, Tayta prepares a traditional breakfast for her family. As she cooks and prepares the food, the things she sees, the sounds she hears and the food she eats remind her of her childhood and her old life in Lebanon.
Tayta Remembers celebrates the role food plays in shaping our lives and telling our stories. It is a celebration of culture, history and heritage and offers readers an opportunity to learn about a time and place of long ago.

This book is Amazing. Congratulations! And Well Done. We thoroughly enjoyed reading it and looking at the pictures! It truly brings out the Lebanese culture and village life to readers!
It was especially easy to read and understand for children and your explanations are so clear! The addition of the glossary is perfect!
Cara King has created gorgeous pictures that depict the true way of village life in Lebanon. The food images are also spot on and mouth watering. Well Done!

We absolutely love Tayta Remembers! My kids can identify with the characters in the book, the food and everything about it. All of Amal Abou-Eid’s books that we have read so far have been amazing and thoroughly enjoyed!
