Little Farm by the SeaThe little farm by the sea is a bustling place, filled with animals to keep track of and visitors to attend to. All year-round Farmer Brown and his family are busy, cultivating plants in the greenhouse in wintertime, and planting and sowing the harvest in. the warmer months. And finally, when the customers come, the hard work has paid off. There are beautiful flowers to buy, delicious vegetables to eat, and strawberries ripe for the picking. Kay Chorao lovingly portrays the changing of the seasons on a real family farm where she herself has spent many an afternoon. With a fluid text and warmly detailed art, this simple story celebrates a vanishing way of life that embodies our most long-standing values and traditions. |
