Description
No space, no problem. Poor soil, there is a solution. Need assist, found it. Farmer Will is a genius in solving problems. In 2008, the MacArthur Foundation named him one for his innovative urban farming methods, including aquaponics and hydroponics.
Jacqueline Briggs Martin, creator of the Caldecott Medal winner, Snowflake Bentley, and Alice Waters and the Travel to Delicious , at the side of debut artist Eric-Shabazz Larkin’s striking artwork, tells the inspiring story of the African American innovator, educator, and community builder.
Farmer Will Allen is the first book of Martin’s Food Heroes series, followed by Alice Waters and the Travel to Delicious. In 2015, it used to be selected by Points of Light Foundation to set a new Guinness World Record for the most children reading the same book across the globe to promote literacy. Nearly 300,000 participated.
