Aisha's Olives Diane Langejans

Aisha's Olives is about a family who lives in Morocco. The book is about a real woman named Aisha. The author observed Aisha working during the olive harvesting season, in the late fall. Olive farming provides olive oil and whole olives to the people of Morocco. Many olives and olive oil are exported to other countries. The author wrote and illustrated Aisha's Olives to explain to children how olives and olive oil are harvested and processed for people to consume.
