Today is my sophomore picture book’s first birthday, Food for the Future: Sustainable Farms Around the World, illustrated by Robert Sae-Heng and published by Barefoot Books.
Food for the Future: Sustainable Farms Around the World
Go on a tour of eco-friendly farms around the globe! From urban gardens to farms under the sea, discover the many different sustainable ways people have been growing food for centuries, and new innovations that are battling the effects of climate change on farming. Rhyming text and inset boxes with definitions for new vocabulary words make the topic accessible to young learners. The end matter includes detailed information about each country’s farming practice, sustainable farming, and more. [picture book, ages 3 and up]
