Since spring is upon us we tied it into a Very Hungry Caterpillar theme along with some of our other favorite Eric Carle Activities.ĭo your kids eat fruit pouches? (If not don’t worry because if you don’t have them you could try using buttons or try our second activity that is fruit pouch lid free).

![]() ![]() His Milwaukee farm now gets 20,000 visitors a year so that others can learn to grow gardens where there had only been concrete. ![]() Slowly and steadily, a community garden emerged and Will Allen taught others to be farmers too. That was the first time that the neighborhood kids helped out, bringing compost items to feed the worms. First though, he had to clear the land and then figure out how to improve his soil so that something could grow there. But then living in Milwaukee, he saw empty greenhouses standing vacant and realized that he could feed people who had never eaten a fresh vegetable. But Allen did not want to spend his life weeding and digging in the dirt, so he decided to become a basketball player, and he did. When he was a boy, he grew up helping care for a large garden that kept their family fed. When he sees a vacant lot, he sees a farm with enough to feed everyone. Will Allen is a farmer who can see the potential where others can’t. ![]() Farmer Will Allen and the Growing Table by Jacqueline Briggs Martin, illustrated by Eric-Shabazz Larkin ![]() ![]() ![]() I’ve never been the type of guy to settle down with one woman. ![]() ![]() Peeking through that broken armor of hers is more beauty than I thought was possible in one person.

That beach anthem you’ve had on repeat all summer – the one with the pickup trucks and drinking beer by the bonfire… I’m the guy playing that killer guitar riff on it.

When Samar’s family is not accepted by fellow neighbors and a boy goes as far as etching the word “LEAVE” firmly into Red’s bark, trouble ensues.
