Meet a few friendly faces

A cartoon banana with a smiling face, arms, and legs, standing in a green outdoor scene with trees, rocks, a river, and mountains in the background. The banana is pointing toward a tree and a flower.
A cartoon apple with a smiling face and arms, standing in a green field with trees and clouds in the sky, illustrating the phrase 'A is for Apple'.
An animated carrot with a smiling face and stick arms, standing outdoors on a grassy area, surrounded by gardening tools and raised garden beds with plants.

The Mission

More than letters and laughs

Jau Sweed wrote The Yummy Alphabet with a bigger goal than ABCs, helping kids build real food knowledge and feel excited about what’s on their plate.

  • Every page turns a fruit or vegetable into a character kids can name and recognize, building real food literacy, one letter at a time.

  • A friendly, smiling face makes even an unfamiliar vegetable feel a little less intimidating, a gentle nudge toward tasting something new.

  • Written with food-scarce communities in mind, the book hopes to grow food knowledge and curiosity wherever fresh produce can be hard to come by.
