Why Every Child Needs to Meet the Sorgho Squad: Exploring Ancient Grains Through Fun Stories

1

Finding ways to educate our children about health and nutrition can be challenging, but what better way than a book series filled with exciting adventures and ancient grain superheroes? The Sorgho Squad, a captivating three-part graphic novel-style series by agricultural expert and sustainability advocate Nate Blum, makes it easy to address global challenges such as food insecurity and environmental sustainability in ways that engage young minds. 

The Sorgho Squad books follow the adventures of Professor Sorgho and his assistant Alice Atlas on their quest to rediscover ancient grain superheroes, Jowar, Mashilla, and Milo. Each book focuses on unraveling the mystery and seemingly forgotten benefits of sorghum, starting with Jowar in book one. 

The series aims to highlight the importance of these grains in combatting modern issues such as climate change, hunger, and biodiversity loss. Sorghum and millets are both ancient drought-resistant grains with numerous economic, nutritional, and sustainable agricultural benefits, making them the perfect crops to improve food security and climate issues. Real sustainability science and facts about these ancient grains have been cleverly integrated into the Sorgho Squad stories, combined with colorful illustrations to offer children a fully immersive reading experience. 

The Sorgho Squad books align with Sorghum United’s mission to raise awareness and promote the benefits of sorghum and millets for human health, climate-smart agriculture, and environmental sustainability. Teaching children about these topics from a young age is a great way to inspire a deep passion for nutrition and sustainability and the role of ancient grains in addressing these issues. 

These books are great for children aged 8-12 but can be enjoyed by the whole family. Proceeds from the Sorgho Squad book series also go towards supporting Sorghum United’s mission.
