As a third grade teacher, I had the pleasure of taking my class to our Scholastic Book Fair. During the half hour that we had to browse the books, I came across a book that I connected to agriculture. The book, GROWING Farm, School and Me!, was written by sixth grade students. Scholastic selects books that are created by young authors and publishes one to two books in this manner per year. Although the topics vary, I was thrilled to find that today’s youth chose to write about the ever-changing face of agriculture. The book targets hard topics; such as urban sprawl and gaining awareness for agriculture. In a society that is quickly becoming removed from our nation’s rich agricultural heritage it is essential that we embrace every opportunity we are given to promote agriculture by sharing our story with our future generations. I look forward to reading, GROWING Farm, School and Me!, with my class tomorrow during literature. For a list of agricultural books for you to share with others, you should visit the American Farm Bureau Foundation’s recommended book list.
