I got this on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review!

I had never heard about José before, but I am so glad I now know so many things about him after reading this! He has had a very interesting life and I loved reading this story about how he went from a small boy in Spain to a person helping secure food for people in areas of crisis! This is definitely a good non-fiction picture book and would be perfect to include in units with kids!

Definitely recommend this one!

José Feeds the World: How a famous chef feeds millions of people in need around the world is an excellent children's book about the life of chef José Andrés.

Born in Asturias, Spain to parents who were both nurses, José learned early how giving back to others could make things better. José decided to become a chef at the age of five and ended up going to cooking school at the age of fifteen. He moved to New York at the age of 21 and opened his own tapas restaurant in Washington D.C. at the age of 24. José volunteered in soup kitchens, seeing how food made people feel better. After volunteering in Haiti in 2010 after the natural disaster there, José started World Central Kitchen. Organizing and encouraging others to help, this famous chef created a way of providing what people needed at their most desperate.

José Feeds the World is an excellent children's book about how one person can make a difference in service of those in need. This children's book is well illustrated and provides young reader's a way of looking at how they can help others. José Feeds the World would be a great book for teachers or parents, motivating children and giving them inspiration.

Disclaimer: I was given an Advanced Reader's Copy by NetGalley and the publisher. The decision to read and review this children's book was entirely my own.

This is such a beautiful book - the artwork is lovely and the true story of Jose, someone I did not know anything about, is phenomenal and inspiring. I am now looking into the World Central Kitchen and the cookbooks to cook from with my son. This is truly an inspiring true story of someone that we need in this world and this book crystallizes him perfectly.

What a cute read. The perfect children's read that highlights how important it is to be present in your children's life. Jose didn't just want to be a chef, he wanted to help change lives through cooking. This came from him watching his parents be nurses and watching his dad feed the neighborhood. It's amazing how his parents influenced him so much he became a leader for World Center Kitchen and feed thousands of people! What a great story!

"Jose Feeds the World: How a Famous Chef Feeds Millions of People in Need Around the World" by David Unger with illustrations by Marta Alvarez Miguens is a fantastic new picture book biography of famous chef and humanitarian Jose Andres. The book starts off with the story of Jose's childhood where he learned about helping people from his parents who were both nurses. As a very young child Jose discovered that the kitchen was his favorite room and that food could bring both sustenance and comfort to people. As a young man he started working in some of the finest restaurants in the world. In Washington D.C. he also volunteered at a soup kitchen. And in 2010 he organized a food based mission to Haiti after an earthquake devastated the country. This led to him founding the World Central Kitchen, a not-for-profit which provides food to areas devastated by natural disasters, pandemics, and wars. Jose's innovative approach to helping people by feeding them and equipping them to help each other is an inspiring story one made more vivid by Miguens inviting illustrations. I can't wait to incorporate this book into our biography study. I highly recommend this book for libraries, schools, and home collections.

This is a beautiful book with a great message from children. The illustrations are bright and engaging. The was really interesting. I liked the inclusion of the many recognitions Jose has received. What an amazing person and story to share with young readers.

I loved this book. This would be wonderful for a classroom that wants to learn more Spanish words. The illustrations are wonderful and make you feel like you are in their home.

The story of José Andrés, the famous chef, and how he created an organization to help feed people. This is a great book for kids! I love that it is about someone famous doing something good with their status and not just a rise to celebrity story.
