A beautiful homage to farmers with poetic text and a nice variety of farming methods highlighted.

Loved this! Great homage to farmers and farm workers -- love that it addresses all levels of food production. Text and illustrations are wonderful. ( )

This book is in the title. Thank of farmer. It goes through various things that farmers may do and crops they might grow. It covers grains and milk, but also sheep for sweaters and trees for honey and maple syrup. What I particularly like about this, it shows all types of farmers. From big farms in the middle of nowhere to small city farms or hydroponics farms in warehouses and it also shows a variety of farmers. This book is well done and is a great reminder how you need farmers to eat and to live in the world today. ( )
