“The Little Regenerative Farmer”: A Children’s Book About Farming

Lina visits a petting zoo with her family and tells her parents she wants to start a farm. They tell her it’s a lot of work, but she persists and gets her own chickens and starts a garden. She encounters obstacles like nosey neighbors and harsh weather. But eventually, she wins everyone over and her farm grows under her love, and she achieves her dream of a bountiful farm that feeds her family and community.

Lina uses Regenerative Agriculture techniques which is a new emerging trend of how to farm in a way that is beneficial for the planet. We hear so many stories demonizing beef production but very few people know, it’s the method that’s actually the problem! Using Regenerative Ag techniques, we can sequester carbon from the atmosphere and increase food nutrition along with millions of other benefits.

Farmers like Lina face many obstacles. With this book, I hope to encourage other passionate people who may be considering committing to life as a farmer to not let others’ opinions keep them from doing something that is so important to humanity and the environment. It truly is a book that can motivate any aspiring regenerative farmers and all children who have big dreams.

“Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site” Read By A Toddler

We’ve had the Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site book since May of this year. Since it entered our home via Amazon’s superfast shipping, Avery has latched onto it as one of her favorite books.

We’d read it for nap time, bed time, and several times during the day. It’s one of those books everyone knows by memory where Going Mom and I were reading it without really looking at the pages. Now Avery doesn’t even need us to read the book and she’s taken to doing it herself.

She’s been randomly picking up the book and reading, so I prepared myself with the video camera standing by. I happened to capture one of her reading sessions as a result and had to share.

With her latest infatuation of construction trucks, Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site is sure to stick around as a favorite for a while.
