A great book that teaches the importance of farming and instills a sense of care for nature. Every parent should consider exposing their kid to this book.

I really appreciate the idea of this book. I hope many children could grasp wonderful lessons from this work. Gardening and farming should be taught at a very young age itself. Along with that farming will definitely teach many other qualities which must be there in a person. We should always be down to earth!
Nice review! :tiphat:

In this day and age, you don't hear many kids saying they want to grow up to be a farmer. This sounds like an excellent book to spark that interest in kids. Thanks for the great review.

A children's book about "planting, giving back to the earth, and respecting our surroundings" is definitely a great read for kids. I like it that the book involves detailed illustrations that suit its overall concept perfectly. However, I'm not a fan of this genre. Otherwise, congrats on the BOTD!

This book is such a interesting to read for adults and children both.. It teaches you the value of giving others unconditionally irrespective of who you are and how much you earn..The farmer is truely a gem by heart! Must read for any age group.. I love the very last line of the book "That is a truly wonderful gift,to give so much and then to learn how to receive with grace and endless gratitude" !!!! Words aren't enough to describe about this excellent book

Thanks to the author for enlightening us..

The planting and harvesting of crops are vital parts of our food supply system that many children are disconnected from today. This is a beautiful story that emphasizes the important work the farmers do to provide food for the community and the nation. I loved your descriptive writing!

This sounds like an adorable way for children to learn about the important role farming plays within not only good production, but also simply learning about and respecting the earth. Thanks for the great review!

The review is amazing. I think in this day and age of climate change i think its high time kids learn about tree planting and taking care of mother nature as a whole.

I have so many fond memories of spending all of my childhood summers on my maternal grandparents' farm (both of my parents were teachers), and even now, I visit my mom on the plot that she inherited now that they're gone. So reading about this book put such a big smile on my face! I don't have any wee ones to share it with, but I'll sure be reading it for myself!

I can't help but be enchanted by a children's book with such a heartwarming message of caring and kindness that leaves the reader with “a lighter attitude and a feeling of well-being.” Wonderful and delightful review!
