I look forward to reading it with my kids during our plant unit. - Michelle Breitkreutz
I just got the book in the mail this week and just finished reading it! I love it! - Gretchen Briske
It is very well written and a step by step guide to plant your next garden. ... great for elementary teachers/students. - Jen Smith
This book written and illustrated by Christina is written for anyone to learn a thing or two, not just kids. My favorite parts are the coverage of urban gardening and concepts of integrating sustainability practices. My SUPER favorite part is that Christina walks the walk in her own life in Maine, and was a former educator. Teachers, take note! This book is a ready made unit...Chrissy is helping us treat the Earth well one reader at a time! - Merri Lavine

by Donating to a Local Food Pantry
It is very rewarding to harvest all the fruits and vegetables from a garden. The dedicated care, time, and patience over the growing season bring a bountiful harvest. When there are more vegetables than you can eat, it is always nice to share with others.
This book brings to mind the local food pantry and how they help meet the needs of our neighbors. Here is a great article by Elizabeth Russell outlining the "20 Items Food Banks Need the Most." Feel free to print it and share with others.
A reading of this book pairs well with hosting a food drive to benefit the community. This is an excellent opportunity to help give back to our community by donating to a local food pantry.
