Composting for Community

I love this book! It's a great introduction for the compost-curious, and even if you're not - it's a beautiful story about family, repair, and seeing value in places that we might otherwise disregard. I highly recommend - it gives me goosebumps and teary eyes every time I read it (and it's been a lot).

I purchased this for my summer Kids Garden program & introductory teaching about composting. Well received by the children and parents alike.

I love this book more than an adult should love a kids book. I want it in every classroom, every gift shop, every family's bookshelf. It teaches without being didactic or boring for the kiddos. The story is lovely and engaging. All the explanations about the science of composting are spot-on and easy to follow. My 2 and 4 year old both request it and pull it off the shelf all the time.

Also - it is love embodied, without ever hammering anything home. Love for the earth, love for community, love for family. Family bonds and intergenerational tenderness and respect are gently uplifted
Men and boys speak kindly to one another and help each other. They tend to the world around them.

I recommend this book to literally everyone I can think of. It will change the world.

We will be distributing this book to our county libraries and our 9 elementary schools in our district. This is the reason for purchasing this book. We are the only garden club in our county and wish to educate our youth about every aspect of gardening and conservation.

I got excited and purchased this book based off the cover alone. After reading, I can say I love it and am stoked to share with everyone!
