Tasting my Story

There’s no way Chase intends to let new kid, Nicolai Driscoll, win his school’s baking competition. But when it comes to cooking, Chase doesn’t know the difference between flour and baking soda. He goes to his Grandmother for help—and is drawn into a family mystery where he journeys through time. In each mouthwatering era, Chase learns a little about food, and a lot about the importance of family and tradition. Part mystery-adventure, part kid-friendly cookbook, Tasting My Story is sure to capture the imagination of young minds, and get kids excited about spending time in the kitchen. The Chase “Superman” Duffy graphic novels chronicle the adventures of a young track and field athlete as he navigates his way around his grandfather’s Alberta farm to learn about rapeseed, canola, the transition from one seed to another, and the innovators behind the country’s only true Canadian-made crop. Written and illustrated for 8 to 11-year-olds, the stories are part historical fact, part fantasy, relying on a child’s belief in “perhaps.” Note: Teachers, please contact the Alberta Canola Producers Commission for information about how these books link to curriculum, and how you can order them for your school. www.learncanola.com.
