Review Detail

Farmer Eva's Green Garden Life is an inspirational read for young children everywhere, girls in particular.

There are multiple facts in the backmatter about women farmers, information on eating fresh herbs and much more. These added perks boost the educational aspect of the story written by Martin.

Children and adults will love this tranquil read about of how Eva Sommaripa grew a love for gardening, community-building, and educating others. Martin's descriptive writing has readers experiencing the salty sea breeze and moist soli.
This book is full of literary devices expertly embedded in the story including parallelism, imagery, and metaphor. I loved the turns of phrase - Brown Underground, Eat-around Underground Cafe
Christy Hale created these amazing and informative illustrations with a diverse cast that helps bring Martin's words to life.

Farmer Eva's Green Garden Life is a perfect book for getting children interested in gardening, community, and farm-to-table eating!
