Wonderfully written by Charles Long and beutifully illustrated by Christina Allen, A Farmer's Alphabet is sure to charm and engage children of all ages, and adults too. Charles Long is a teacher, educator, and speaker. Christina Allen is a celebrated artist and sustainable farmer. The book will become an instant favorite. This is Charles and Christina's second book collaboration. Their first book, Momma Tree, won the National Mom's Choice Book Award AND a Gold Moonbeam Book Award.

My friend Christina lives on a special kind of farm: a sustainable farm. Sustainable farmers grow our food and take good care of the Earth. One of the ways they do this is by growing lots and lots of different kinds of food. Her farm has everything from A to Z. Don't believe me? Read the book.

Winner of two National Book Awards: The Bronze Evergreen Book Award, and The Silver Moonbeam Children's Book Award.

Contributor Bio(s): Allen, Christina: - Artist/Illustrator Christina Allen has been a professional artist for about 35 years. She lives on a Southern Maryland farm with her husband, cat, rare Jersey Buff turkeys, and heritage chickens. They raise much of their own food. The rural life and the beautiful Chesapeake Bay find their way into many of her paintings. Christina's original paintings and limited edition prints, including original art from the book, are for sale at her Corn Crib Studio, where you can usually find her working.Long, Charles: - Charles was born in Philadelphia, PA, but moved to NYC when he was very young. He studied monkeys in college, majoring in, among other things, anthropology at Brooklyn College and the University of Wisconsin. Eventually he went to seminary to become a pastor. Today Charles lives in southern Maryland. He loves music (especially Bruce Cockburn), Colorado, the Green Bay Packers, the New York Yankees, and rescued greyhounds. Monkeys don't make good pets.
