Follow Granny Root as she spreads compost, plants seedlings, and picks fruit in this stylish and fact-filled picture book, part of the Follow My Food series that looks at the ways different foods are produced.

Blueberries, raspberries, apples, and pears—they all come to the table after months of hard work growing them in the ground, on bushes, or in trees. Granny Root Grows Fruit is a simple but effective way to teach children (and adults!) about the process of growing berries and fruit. Featuring attractive collage-style art, the book also includes a matching game, a display of different types of fruits, berries, and nuts, and a recipe using fruits and berries.

“Berries, apples, and pears, yum! With the help of the child narrator, the aptly named Granny Root grows berry bushes and fruit trees, harvests when it’s time, and then eats or preserves the bounty. This entry in the author’s four-book Follow My Food series provides a step-by-step account of fruit growing with simple words and colorful, stylized pictures. This concise U.K. import will satisfy young listeners or early readers curious about where their food comes from; it’s also a lovely example of intergenerational bonding… (g)entle encouragement for the youngest of gardeners.”—Kirkus Reviews
