Information is provided on scientific and common names, appearance, history, economic and social importance, food uses (including practical information on storage and preparation), as well as notable curiosities. There are more than 3000 literature citations in the book and the text is complemented by over 250 exquisitely drawn illustrations.

People can visit a market to buy food, and animals look for food in the environment where they live. Plants, however, can’t move around. So how do they obtain the nourishment they need to live and grow? This book takes readers step-by-step through a clear, grade-appropriate explanation of the process of photosynthesis. Children will learn how plants gather water and carbon dioxide and use sunlight to “cook” them up inside their leaves. Along the way, the book also explains how plants make the oxygen that people and animals need in order to breathe, and how we rely on plants as an essential food. Filled with information perfectly suited to the abilities and interests of an early elementary audience, Cooking with Sunshine: How Plants Make Food gives readers a chance not only to learn, but also to develop their powers of observation and critical thinking. Beautiful photographs, vivid diagrams, and high-interest facts make this book a lively, engaging experience.
