Tracing everyday goods to the people who make them

Bread, milk, wool, fruits, and vegetables become starting points for exploring how agriculture reaches into daily life. The book follows food and clothing back to the people who harvest and create them, moving across settings that include wheat fields, rooftop gardens, mushroom beds, and maple forests. Its subject extends beyond where goods come from to the farmworkers whose labor helps bring them to families around the world. The book pairs Maria Gianferrari’s text with illustrations by Monica Mikai.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in where food and clothing come from
  • Young readers exploring farming, agriculture, and farmworkers
  • Families and educators seeking a nonfiction introduction to everyday agricultural connections

Book overview

Bread, milk, wool, fruits, and vegetables: things that fill our day to day lives. But where, and who, do they come from? Across wheat fields and city rooftop gardens, mushroom beds and maple forests, Thank a Farmer traces the food and clothing that a family uses back to the people who harvested and created them.

With Maria Gianferrari's informed and poetic text and monumental artwork from Monica Mikai, Thank a Farmer gently emphasizes the importance of agriculture in our day-to-day lives and reminds readers to give thanks to farmworkers around the world.
