About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child starts asking where food comes from or shows a fascination with farm animals. It's a wonderful tool for explaining the concept of seasons in a concrete, visual way. The book gently guides young readers through a full year on a farm, showing the different chores, crops, and animal activities in spring, summer, fall, and winter. It fosters a sense of wonder about the natural world, gratitude for food, and empathy for the people and animals who work the land. The simple text and bright illustrations make it a perfect fit for curious preschoolers and early elementary children.
