More about food security and sustainable farming closes this moving, informative entry in the publisher's CitizenKid line ...-- Booklist, Though the text is not simple, the appealing design will support less able readers.-- Kirkus Reviews, Taken at a literal level, this is a story of how sustainable farming practices can nourish families and the earth simultaneously. On a deeper level, it is about social justice and self-sustaining economies, which make this a book that can span a broader interest level. The stylized colored-pencil artwork is appropriately lush and idealized.-- School Library Journal

Synopsis
From the best-selling author of One Hen comes the inspiring story of one struggling farming family in Honduras and their journey to growing enough food to meet their needs. Based on the real story of farm transformation underway in Honduras and many other countries, this book offers children ways they can be part of the movement to grow "good gardens" and foster food security. Eleven-year-old María Luz and her family live on a small farm. This year their crop is poor, and they may not have enough to eat or to sell for other essentials, such as health care, school uniforms and books. When María's father must leave home to find work, she is left in charge of their garden. Then a new teacher comes to María's school and introduces her to sustainable farming practices that yield good crops. As María begins to use the same methods at home, she too sees improvements, which allow her family to edge their way out of the grip of the greedy "coyotes" --- the middlemen who make profits on the backs of poor farmers. Little by little, the farms --- and the hopes --- of María and her neighbors are transformed as good gardens begin to grow., María's family are poor Honduran farmers, growing barely enough to eat. Then a new teacher comes to town and shows María sustainable farming practices that yield good crops. An inspiring story, based on actual events, that shows us how farms and hopes are transformed as good gardens begin to grow., From the best-selling author of One Hen comes the inspiring story of one struggling farming family in Honduras and their journey to growing enough food to meet their needs.

- 4***h (355)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseNOT the fault of the seller because the DVDs got routed wrong in the middle of the shipment, and took quite a while to get to the address. The DVDs were in perfect condition! A+++ seller.
- s***4 (135)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThis lot was HORRIBLE. I had to throw away half of the items because of rips, stains and tears. All the clothes smelled of cigarettes and were shoved in a box. I am VERY disappointed in this purchase.Reply from: bookboy33- Feedback replied by seller bookboy33.- Feedback replied by seller bookboy33.Buyer left negative feedback without requesting a return or even sending us a message. We have free returns within 30 days of purchase. Simply request a return, and send the lot back for a refund. It doesn't make sense that the buyer claims she has to throw them away, rather than requesting a return. As for the lot itself, this lot came from my daughter's wardrobe and none of us smoke. All of the pieces included are pictured in the listing.
