Review Detail

Up We Grow! explores the four seasons of a small, local farm, from planting season to harvest. Colorful photos show children of all ages submersed in farm life: harvesting honey, milking goats, and taking a trip to the farmer's market.

Up We Grow! proves you don't have to be a grownup to grow crops and raise animals. It takes hard work, but there are those still dedicated to caring for the earth, eating whole foods, and living a sustainable life, rich in community. And this book is a great way to teach kids that food doesn't just magically appear in the fridge!

If you're planning a trip to your own local farmer's market, this is a great book to share with your kids in preparation.
