Overview

Health-conscious families and communities everywhere are taking on the challenge of childhood-obesity prevention by re-learning to enjoy fresh produce. The market for organic fruits, herbs and veg has never been greater. In WE LIKE TO GROW OUR FOOD, children learn about composting, the need for healthy soil and the interconnection of all life systems (how humans, insects, animals and plants work together). They get to celebrate the essential bond with nature that is so easy to forget in a fast-food culture. WE LIKE TO GROW OUR FOOD is both a storybook and an instruction guide. Young children can follow the progress of a group of characters who take their garden through the seasons. In the process, they learn the steps to creating their own garden. Whether readers live in urban or rural environments, they can use the encouraging and simple text to start creating a new world: a new and healthier food source for themselves and their families. A garden is a wonderful teacher, with surprising and profound gifts. This book stresses the need for care, nuturing, patience and sharing all vital life lessons for young children to hear about and for parents to encourage. With simple text and captivating illustrations, WE LIKE TO GROW OUR FOOD promises to open a new door to adventure and enjoyment even for those who have been previously reluctant to get their hands dirty.
