I also grew up growing food and eating lots of fresh stuff and there were farms all around our village.

And as you say, a selection for the younger ones, but I feel kids in school should start to learn more about how they can have opinions about where there food comes from too. If we were more conscious on the whole, it might help slow us down, which is something I'd appreciate!

As I read your review, it really struck that today's children don't have the appreciation we grew up with for food production. I'm so impressed with what you shared that I'm going to buy a copy for myself, so I can share it with grandchildren. Side bar -- I remember my daughter thinking that money just came from ATM machines and that it was my earned money I put in a bank for safekeeping. That's when I started her very own bank account. I'm sure there are many other book series that could be a series of books on such themes. You always find such great books.

I think I was old enough to handle the truth. I was upset Africa was so different from the stories. I love those illustrations, I'll check this out.Catherine Johnsonhttp://catherinemjohnson.comnoreply@blogger.com
