Where does our food come from? What role do farms play? What's it
like to be a farmer? In this charmingly illustrated book, follow a
farm throughout the year to discover how the farmer grows fresh and
tasty food for us to eat in a sustainable and natural way. Explore
the workings of a small-scale, organic family farm and experience
the rhythm of farm life. In the spring, visit the chicken coop,
till the fields, and tour the farm machinery. When summer comes,
plant corn, meet the pollinators, and head to the county fair. In
the fall, make pies and preserves, harvest pumpkins, and put the
fields to sleep. Winter activities include trimming and pruning the
orchard, seed shopping, and baking bread. To conclude your year on
the farm, learn what you can do to support the farmers who pick our
carrots and raise the cows for our milk. A glossary defines key
sustainable farming terms. Through this colorful and intimate look
at life on a small-scale farm, children will learn not only how the
farm feeds us, but how the farmer must feed and care for the farm.

Size is relative, but everything is worth seeing in this concept
book from the illustrator of "And Tango Makes Three."
Beginning with a beautiful close-up of a "big" ladybug, this book
artfully depicts the concept of scale. The book zooms out from the
bug, to a flower, to a cow, all the way to an expansive spread of
sky. Then Henry Cole masterfully zooms back in from that sky, to a
tree, to a house, to a window, all the way to the end where an
adorable dog is taking a "little" nap.
In this ideal introduction to the concept of scale, young readers
will love the lush illustrations of the animals, objects, and
scenery of a farm, and they'll delight in seeing how something
"big" can suddenly seem "little" with the turn of a page
