SuitabookThe Tortilla Factory
Gary Paulsen
- Reading
- Read it together at an unhurried pace; pause at each stage to trace how the seed, crop and finished food connect, using the paintings as prompts.
- Themes
- Food production and work: The book follows a tortilla’s path from seed and soil through factory processing and delivery. The overview presents the process appreciatively, but does not establish how fully the book examines workers’ experiences.
- Worth knowing
- The overview presents this as a beautiful, simple way of life; how much attention the book gives to workers’ conditions or challenges is unclear.
