Embark On A Captivating Journey With This Multicultural Book For Kids

This early reader book unfolds a day in the life of Luz, an immigrant farmworker who, once the boy in "The Boy From Mexico," now navigates the challenges of farm life with his own family.

An agricultural experience. With a special focus on the avocado crop, this book serves a dual purpose: to immerse early readers in a vibrant narrative and illuminate farmworkers' dedicated efforts in bringing fresh produce to American tables.

From farm to table. This book entertains and educates, making it an ideal choice for parents seeking food books for kids. With themes of diversity and cultural richness, it becomes a compelling addition to the collection of books for kindergarten and five-year-olds. Additionally, it is an excellent read-aloud option for kindergarten classrooms and resonates with seven-year-olds as they explore the world through literature.

Immerse your child in one of the best bedtime stories, offering a narrative that transcends cultural boundaries and encourages a broader understanding of the diverse contributions to our food industry.

Inside, you’ll:

  • Introduce your child to the world of agriculture and farm life.
  • Help your early reader gain valuable insights into the intricate process of cultivating and harvesting food.
  • Gain an appreciation for the vital role of farmworkers in the journey from farm to table, fostering an understanding of the labor that sustains our food supply.
