What kid doesn't love DIRT? What parent doesn't want their kiddos eagerly adding to their "time outdoors?" This book appeals to both! Alice has wanted to write a children's book for years. When her pastor's wife Virginia suggested that she write about where our food comes from, the ideas started flowing. Being a child at heart, Alice was able to write the message simply which quickly captures the interest of children. The author's husband Bill is an avid gardener. The book explains the gardening process with special emphasis placed on the garden soil - the DIRT. The illustrative pictures from Alice's personal collection, show building of the soil, the planting process, the growing plants, and the delectable vegetables. Children's fascination with playing in the DIRT makes a great segway to teach them about vegetables.
