Un conmovedor libro biográfico sobre el chef José Andrés, quien, junto con su organización World Central Kitchen, seguramente inspirará a los niños a ayudar en sus propias comunidades.

El amor de José Andrés por la cocina comenzó cuando era un niño en España, mientras recogía la leña para hacer el fuego que cocinaría la paella perfecta. A José le encantaba cada aspecto: el chisporroteo del aceite de oliva, los montones de vegetales frescos picados, y el olor del azafrán. Cuando se fue de casa, se dio cuenta de que quería contar historias con comida. Y lograría contarlas, creando magia con las semillas de tomates y granadas, con almendras y queso. Sus sueños crecieron hasta que eran tan grandes como las estrellas en el cielo. Pensó: nadie debería pasar hambre. Quiero ayudar a alimentar al mundo. Y así nació World Central Kitchen.

Desde el terremoto en Haití hasta la guerra en Ucrania y la pandemia de Covid, José y su equipo en World Central Kitchen han estado en primera línea, sirviendo más de 200 millones de comidas y brindando consuelo y esperanza en los momentos más oscuros.

Con un texto lírico e impresionantes ilustraciones, aquí hay una biografía ilustrada sobre un chef y humanitario de renombre mundial que seguramente inspirará a una nueva generación de ayudantes comunitarios.

A moving picture book biography about chef José Andrés, who, along with his World Central Kitchen organization, is sure to inspire kids to help out in their own communities.

José Andrés’s love of cooking began as a young boy in Spain as he gathered the wood to make the fire that would cook the paella just right. José loved everything about it: the sizzling olive oil, the mounds of chopped vegetables, and the smell of saffron. When he left home, he realized he wanted to tell stories with food. And tell them he did, creating magic with the seeds of ripe tomatoes and pomegranates and cheese. His dreams grew until they were as big as the stars in the sky. He thought, No one should ever go hungry. I want to help feed the world-- and World Central Kitchen was born.

From the earthquake in Haiti to the war in Ukraine and the Covid pandemic, José and his team at World Central Kitchen have been at the frontlines, serving more than 200 million meals and counting, and bringing comfort and hope in the darkest times.

With a lyrical text and stunning illustrations, here is a picture book biography about a world-renowned humanitarian and chef that’s sure to inspire a new generation of community helpers.

"Readers will be encouraged to think big and make connections between their dreams and the needs they encounter." —Booklist
