In this episode, we look at the ways in which literature for kids addresses food insecurity, hunger, and poverty, including the lasting impact of such representations. Alexia Moyer’s Amuse Bouche segment considers a passage from a classic Canadian novel in which shame and poverty, unfortunately, go together on the dinner plate. In a more positive vein, Dian Day talks about her new kids’ book about food insecurity, as well as her qualitative analysis published in Volume 11, Number 1 of Canadian Food Studies, “Food insecurity in books for children” (March 2024). Wrapping things up, Ruby Harrington considers Dian’s article within a broad perspective on familial and infant food insecurity.
