Wild coffee still grows in the forests of Kaffa, Ethiopia, where this internationally beloved crop was born. Today, Ethiopians enjoy their favorite crop with ceremonies and celebrations, and honor it with proverbs passed down through generations. Author Caroline Kurtz, who spent her youth in Ethiopia, wrote this homage to the teret "Coffee and love are best when they are hot" to be kid-friendly, brightened by Gina DaCruz' cheerful illustrations. Side by side dual-language text supports bilingual readers in developing fluency. Part of the Ready, Set, Go! series of children's books in Ethiopian languages.
