Oh, I have such a delicious new picture book to share with you today! Apples for All: A Story About Grafting, written and illustrated by Mary Peterson and published by Feeding Minds Press, is just marvelous. It will be available on April 28, 2026.

I've got a great read for you today! Agricultural Treasures Guidebook, by renowned writer Cindy Ladage, is a deep look into 19 different agricultural treasures, mostly in the midwest (we ARE farm country, after all!). I grew up on a farm, and tractors, farming, and rural life were hallmarks of our town.

Learning more about and celebrating our agricultural treasures is both interesting and important.
