On the Farm, At the Market by G. Brian Karas; illustrated by G. Brian Karas. 2016. Gouache and acrylic with pencil

Brief Summary: Farmers pick vegetables, make cheese, and cut mushrooms the day and night before the farmers’ market. Amy, from Busy Bee Cafe, goes to the market early to buy the ingredients she needs for the meal the farmers will have later in her cafe after a long day of selling their food.

Comments: The author/illustrator created how and what happens before food is taken to the farmers’ market with  illustrations to help the students understand the work that is done by farmers in the community before harvest and the work done in selling their harvests.  This is a must share for kindergarten students in my school library. A great addition to any school library.
