The two winners of the 2015 American Horticultural Society’s ‘Growing Good Kids’ Book Awards are ‘The Prairie That Nature Built‘ and ‘Before We Eat: From Farm to Table‘.
The Prairie That Nature Built, written by Marybeth Lorbiecki and illustrated by Cathy Morrison (Dawn Publications) shows the prairie as alive with thick grasses, animal ‘munchers and crunchers’, and fire and rain.
Before We Eat: From Farm to Table by Pat Brisson and illustrated by Mary Azarian (Tilbury House Publishers & Cadent Publishing) tells the stories of how our food is planted, grown, tended or caught before it arrives at our table.
