Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Hunger continues to be an international problem. This true story of how one ordinary person did something extraordinary shows how everyone can do something to make a difference.
Readers will feel encouraged to find their own way to make a difference. Real life experience plus social justice interests combine into a powerful solution, filling empty bellies with nourishing food, all without costing a lot of money. Recycling meets hunger in John van Hengel's ingenious, yet obvious solution to both food waste and widespread hunger.
"John van Hengel started the world's first food bank in 1967 and went on to create a network of food banks through Feeding America. The concept of getting food that would otherwise be wasted to people who are hungry has spread throughout the world. Gottesfeld's warm text and Agatha's lively art shows that there's no shame in being hungry - the shame lies in how long it took for someone to figure out how to feed people! All it took was one person with a good idea to change things"-- Provided by publisher.
