"What's that you say? You're hungry? Right this very minute? Then you need a farmer!"
Foundation Book of the Year award winners Lisl H. Detlefsen and Renee Kurilla's delicious celebration of food and farming is sure to inspire readers of all ages to learn more about where their food comes from - right this very minute.
You might already know— no farms, no food. But if you ask a younger student where their food comes from, they will probably say a grocery store. And if you ask them who grows it — they will probably picture Old MacDonald. Children's books are an excellent opportunity to introduce students to modern agricultural practices and the book "Right This Very Minute" does just that!
