book cover shows a parmigiano reggiano cheese wheel in the centre with a label on the top showing the title We Are Cheesemakers in copper foil across the middle and an image of a sister holding up a pair of binoculars with one hand and a madaanī spoon in the other, stirring the milky waves below. Her brother wearing a blue dastaar is leaning over the edge with a spino, both covered in a dhurrie (traditional blanket) and sat in a 'tug boat' or traditional indian copper serving dish (mirroring the copper vats used for boiling milk). The background is a traditional phulkari pattern in muted yellows and browns.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

A young family is forced to leave the land they love in search of a new home. Poisoned soils and dried up rivers have made farming impossible.

Holding onto memories of humble ingredients, Papa learns how to make a different kind of cheese and the long and slow process of waiting begins.

As the seasons pass, the cheese matures and time for a stamp approaches.

Will the cheese wheels make the mark?

A stamp, is what the family is waiting for too.

From the award-winning author of A Lion’s Mane, Dreams of Hope: a Bedtime Lullaby and The Garden of Peace. Another thoughtful title for your collection.

We Are Cheesemakers brings ideas of food and climate justice to the forefront. This story shares the weight carried by migrant agricultural workers waiting for a stamp, so they too can have a place to call home.

You are invited to come, gather and eat.
