You are invited to read to our local classrooms this year throughout the week of March 16th – 20th, 2026 and complete an activity related to the message of the book.
Your involvement in reading to students during Agricultural Literacy Week would be an exciting opportunity to increase agricultural literacy and provide a high-quality educational learning experience for children in your community to learn about nutrition and the food system.
Written by Chelsea Tornetto
Illustrated by Karen Bunting
Throughout the year, life on a farm is filled with growth and joy, patience and renewal.
On a farm, each season arrives with new jobs to do—crops to plant, animals to tend to, and fields to harvest. Readers get an insider’s look at what spring, summer, fall, and winter look like on a family farm, from adorable baby animals to rumbling tractors and pumpkins to pies. This sweet, rhyming story is perfect for young readers, whether their home is on a farm or not!
