As a real-food-grower, homeschool mama, and major book nerd, you’d better believe I’ve got a long list of favorite children’s books about seeds, gardens, and growing food.
I’m also a firm believer in teaching kids early about where their food comes from, and introducing them to clean, healthy foods right from the beginning.
Kids love to eat, and they love to get dirty. Which means they love to see foods, gardens, and the good brown earth coming to life in the pages of beautiful books read to them by someone they love.
From toddlers to tweens, you’ll find something for everyone on the list below. And never assume your kids are “too old” for a beautiful picture book with a good story. In fact, the more beautiful books you read to them when they’re young, the more they’ll treasure these stories as they grow older.
