Review
This picture book follows three farmers as they prepare their goods to sell at the market. With pencil drawings colored with acrylics, Karas lovingly depicts the hard work that goes into preparing for market and the community that is cultivated at said markets. A fantastic book for Maine libraries where farmers and farmers' markets are a real presence. More awareness of where food comes from and gratitude for those who grow it is never a bad thing! A wonderful, if very specific, addition to a library collection.
Overall Book Score: very good
