review 1: An inspiring book for young readers and gardeners that tells the story of Will Allen's vision and experiences in creating urban gardens. Included are a great list of resources and a note from Will and the author, Briggs Martin. The colorful art (done in ink, pen and marker with digitally scanned textures and objects) adds so much energy and interest. A must-have for school libraries and gardeners.
review 2: I loved this look into urban farming and appreciate that he is living here in Wisconsin. It fits really well with the school garden that we have so our students can see that farming doesn't require tons of land. Everyone can grow food for their own table. The students also loved that he was a basketball player. The text is just the right amount for first an... mored second grade students, but it could certainly be used with older students to read on their own. less
