Overview

What child doesn't treasure a day with Grandpa on the farm? Potatoes, Papaw, and Me is a charming tale of a little girl helping her grandfather harvest potatoes. Written in verse, the rhythm and vivid vocabulary make each page a fun, upbeat read while leading the reader through lively snapshots from the garden, to the well, to the table, to relaxing when the work is done. Hiruni's illustrations perfectly represent the tone of this engaging, fun-loving story. Follow along with these two animated characters as they enjoy each other and their chore on the farm. Unique to picture books, the final pages include tips for parents and teachers for reading Potatoes, Papaw, and Me and for using it as an anchor text for writing. While enjoying the story, parents and teachers can engage children in a way that helps them become even better readers and writers.

"""Readers of all ages will enjoy the cadence of Carol June Franks' memoir in verse. The language and description evoke Kentucky country life and celebrate the way family relationships deepen through shared experiences. Carol also sets a new bar for picture book authors with her detailed suggestions for using the book, based on best practices for both reading and writing. Long after you've closed the last page, you'll hear the echoes of this sweet story--just Papaw and me...just Papaw and me."" -Jean Wolph, Director Emerita, Louisville Writing Project and Kentucky Writing Project"
