This week, we’re delighted to shine a spotlight on author Atinuke and her lively picture book, Baby Goes to Market!

Set in a bustling Nigerian marketplace, this joyful story follows Baby and Mama as they wander through stalls filled with color, flavor, and community. With humor, rhythm, and warmth, Atinuke shows how everyday experiences—like shopping for food—can be full of love, surprises, and learning.

It’s a vibrant summer read that encourages children to see food not just as nourishment, but as part of culture, connection, and family.

Follow along this week as we continue sharing more wonderful titles that celebrate food, stories, and the joy of discovery!

It’s a perfect summer read to spark young imaginations and inspire kids to think about the food we eat and the spaces we share

Tune in to hear Marie talk about her inspiration for the story and why gardens and community matter more than ever.
