"TEACH ME"
"Opening the Breadbasket" Presentation
Bread is such a simple food, right? That is what many elementary school children think before experiencing the innovative workshop entitled, “Opening the Breadbasket.” The workshop was conducted 10 years before the book “Bread is a Simple Food” was written. Through this basic food children can learn a profound lesson about cultures. This book was written to help children internalize the oneness of the human family.
~ Cherry Steinwender, Author
Book Comments:
"The spirit of Cherry Steinwender shines through this wonderful book. Anyone interested in helping children develop the loving, welcoming multi-cultural attitude that Cherry has shared with the Houston community over the years should buy this book and recommend it to others.
--Chandler Davidson, Tsanoff Professor of Public Affairs Emeritus, Rice University
Thank you so much for coming and sharing your heart with our students...you are a blessing! Your presentation was awesome. May you continue to touch the lives of children (and adults) all across this nation! You are making a difference. Yes, In Oneness! God bless you.
-- Sarah L.Worrell, Park Place Elementary
I read the book "Bread is a Simple Food", by Cherry Steinwender. I loved the book! It is simple, yet very powerful and useful. It is a beautiful narrative teaching us so much about culture...and about our similarities and differences. I have also been privileged to have seen Cherry teach her workshop to children, which is fantastic! The book brings me those memories every time I turn a page. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in global unity.
