Root, Phyllis Anywhere Farm, PICTURE BOOK. Candlewick, 2017. $17.
This
book has questions and answers about what it takes to have a farm. Turns out it
isn’t much at all, it can be anywhere, and best of all anyone can do it. The
illustrations are sweet and feature harmonious colors.
I
love the main message of this book and its idea of simplicity. However, its
oddly repetitive changing concepts then returning to a previously talked about
concept. The pages that have the reader stop to read a full page question are
really jarring and take away from the story. I do like books that encourage
planting and community gardens. The illustrations are large enough to share
with a group.
