A week of STEAM and farm life

Set on a family farm in Virginia’s rural Northern Neck, the book connects everyday agricultural work with STEAM careers. Across a week, a tax accountant and her two daughters explore activities ranging from crops and livestock to aquaculture, agritourism, fishing, and forestry. The farm’s multiple sources of income bring an economic dimension to its picture of modern family farming. Rhyming text is accompanied by a glossary and an “extend the lesson” section, adding vocabulary and prompts for further career discussion. The book also frames sustainable farming and care for natural resources as part of its subject.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young readers curious about farming and rural life
  • Children and adults interested in STEAM careers connected to agriculture
  • Readers seeking a rhyming picture book with glossary and discussion material

Book overview

Follow a week in the life of a tax accountant and her two daughters, as they explore science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) careers on their family farm in the rural Northern Neck of Virginia. These leaders overcome traditional barriers and obstacles that previously stunted economic growth for small family-farming operations by creating multiple streams of income. This book is the authors' personal tribute to the Haynie family-farming legacy and represents our vision for future sustainable family farms globally.

 

Roslyn's goal for this book is to help children and adults understand farm concepts in an inspiring and informative picture book that rhymes! Her agricultural activities include growing crops, raising livestock, aquaculture, agritourism, fishing, and forestry.

 

This book includes a glossary defining key terms and an extend the lesson section for further career discussion. We hope to inspire future generations to protect our planet's natural resources while feeding, fueling, and clothing the population. This book is ideal for anyone curious to learn more about modern farming operations!

 

Roslyn is also the author of Adelaide the Accountant! A rhyming book about the week in the life of a tax accountant and her clients in STEAM careers.
