Summertime on the Farm

About the Book

The summertime book is written as a first person account about the author’s oldest daughter. Growing up on a small farm is hard work (for the parents and the children). There were always chores but there was also a lot of unscripted fun. Using the voice of her daughter the author describes what the children loved about growing up on the farm and the freedom they enjoyed. There were no electronics at that time and the children had to make their own fun. The wonderful Illustrators in this children’s book were all hired as freelance artists and illustrators from FIVERR. The author made a point of offering illustrations to artists from all around the world for this book, each had a different artistic flair. The last pages of the book include recipes from the text.
