From acclaimed Latina poet and author Pat Mora comes a delightful collection of haiku focused on some of the most familiar (and a few unfamiliar) foods that are native to the Americas. Blueberries, corn, potatoes, tomatoes, and more, these poems capture the enduring appeal of foods that have been part of the diverse cuisines of the Americas for centuries. Each haiku is accompanied by information about the food's origins, and some fun facts about its history and current uses. With joyous illustrations that practically jump off the page, artist Rafael L�pez captures the essence of each haiku and brings these delicious poems to life. Translated from Yum! �MmMm! �Qu� Rico!
