It’s summer, which also means bugs season. Share these fun reads including TThe Thing About Bees: A Love Letter"Instead of explaining the lifecycle of bees, it gives them a personality. It makes them relatable. The illustrations are outstanding: his characters have big personalities and he combines pen and ink drawings with painterly backgrounds. They’re stunning."..#Bees #Pollinators #Pollination #OutdoorEducation #GardenEducation #EnvironmentalEducation #FoodEducation #FoodLiteracy #STEM #STEAM #SummerReading #SummerLearning JJunior Master Gardener ProgramTThe American Horticultural SocietyKKidsGardening.orgLLife LabBBig GreenTThe Bee Cause ProjectWWhole Kids FoundationTThe Pollinator PartnershipDDetroit HivesGGreen Bronx MachineNNational Farm to School NetworkCCalifornia Farm to SchoolNNational Agriculture in the ClassroomAAmerican Farm Bureau Foundation for AgricultureNNational Summer Learning AssociationNNational Environmental Education Foundation – NEEFNNational Science Teaching Association

Love this new review on Sandor Katz and the Tiny Wild from Shelf Awareness! bit.ly/3bG3czi "Martin and Lee incorporate quotes from Katz throughout their energetic, onomatopoeic text… Julie Wilson’s casual, enthusiastic, earth-toned illustrations suit the subject and Katz’s effervescent personality. The entertainment value here is rivaled by expansive backmatter including an afterword by Katz addressing readers, a visual guide to kraut-making, long author and illustrator notes (including ethnographic research) and additional resources.A fizzy and informative celebration of fermentation that enthusiastically supports curious experimentation and food literacy."..#FoodLiteracy #FoodEducation #FoodHeroes #FoodBiography #FoodWriter #Fermentor #Fermentation #NoHeatCooking #TinyWild #Microbes #FoodScience #STEM #LGBTQ #Queer #QueerCommunity #SummerReading #SummerLearning #SummerCooking #SummerGardening #KidsGardening American Farm Bureau Foundation for AgricultureNational Farm to School Network Tennessee Library Association Tennessee Agriculture in the ClassroomSlow Food Middle TennesseeJunior Master Gardener Program The American Horticultural Society Big Green Life LabChelsea Green Publishing
