The Good Garden
$19.95 Add to cartFrom the best-selling author of One Hen comes the inspiring story of one struggling farming family in Honduras and their journey to growing enough food to meet their needs. Based on the real story of farm transformation underway in Honduras and many other countries, this book offers children ways they can be part of the movement to grow “good gardens” and foster food security. Eleven-year-old Mar? A Luz and her family live on a small farm. This year their crop is poor, and they may not have enough to eat or to sell for other essentials, such as health care, school uniforms and books. When Mar? A’s father must leave home to find work, she is left in charge of their garden. Then a new teacher comes to Mar? A’s school and introduces her to sustainable farming practices that yield good crops. As Mar? A begins to use the same methods at home, she too sees improvements, which allow her family to edge their way out of the grip of the greedy “coyotes” – the middlemen who make profits on the backs of poor farmers. Little by little, the farms – and the hopes – of Mar? A and her neighbors are transformed as good gardens begin to grow.

Down Comes The Rain
$8.95 Add to cartWhat is a fossil? Sometimes it’s the imprint of an ancient leaf in a rock. Or it could be the skeleton of a dinosaur that has turned to stone. With clear prose and beautifully detailed illustrations, award-winning author and illustrator Aliki describes the different ways fossils are formed and what they tell us about life on Earth long ago.
This is a clear and appealing science book for early elementary age kids, both at home and in the classroom. It includes a find out more section with a glossary and activity guide so kids can create their own fossils for someone to find a million years from now.
Author / illustrator Aliki has penned four books listed as “exemplary” titles in the Common Core Standards and is a widely recognized name in nonfiction for children. Both text and artwork of this updated edition were reviewed for accuracy by paleontologist Dr. Kathryn Hoppe and by Dr. William F. Simpson of the Field Museum.
