Saturday at the Food Pantry

By Diane O'Neill

While not a classic book about agriculture, this story focuses on a very important topic in food and food security. A few of our educator guides have lessons that include the topic of food security. This could be an exellent way to introduce what can be seen as a sensitive topic to young readers.
