A Green Thumb for Everyone!
We’re so excited! Linda and I have worked so hard on our children’s book, and after months of hard work we just received our first copy. And, despite sounding vainglorious, it is really beautiful! The book was something we decided to write to supplement the Classroom Bundle and Homeschool Bundle that we have just launched. But it soon took on a life all it’s own. We imagined My First Organics seed starting kits to be a great way to educate kids and families about gardening. As our experience grew, we saw an even better way: Get the kits into the classroom and design a whole curriculum around organic, sustainable gardening. And what better way to kick off a lesson than with a beautiful storybook designed to engage and inspire children to grow food. As we did more research into the different messages about gardening, we realized that the story needed to include facts about the environment, nutrition, and community as well.
“How a Garden Saves the Earth“ is a bold endeavor, designed to encourage kids to ask “Why do we do it that way?”. Written by my wife, Linda McNair and Myself, illustrated by Jeff Petersen (The Whitby Witches, Waves), and colored by yours truly (Yes, I am an artist as well. Go figure).
Great for children up to third grade, it is dedicated to helping parents, teachers and homeschoolers educate kids about the importance of locally grown, sustainable food and how it is connected to their health and that of the planet. This 26-page book introduces fun facts to children on every page!
By the end of the book, our two main characters meet and learn the importance of sharing
