A is for Apple, F is for Field, G is for Green, and every letter after that comes with a real photograph from the farm: a jar of golden honey, a woolly lamb, fresh milk, a proud rooster and a row of sunflowers turned toward the sun. My First Homestead ABCs takes little ones all the way from Apples to Zucchini, one homestead treasure per letter.

Each page pairs a big, bright letter with a short, friendly description written for reading aloud, which makes it a first word book and a gentle introduction to where good food comes from in one. Lana Stenner, a homesteader and storyteller, wrote it for families who live the life and for families who simply love it, wherever they happen to live.

Every book in the Hello, Tiny Homesteader series is an 8 by 8 inch, 32 page hardcover picture book for ages 4 to 8, told in full color photographs. It makes a sweet birthday gift for a farm-loving four or five year old and a natural pick for letter practice at home.
