Little
Yellow Pear Tomatoes
by Denian Elaine Yumei
Illustrated by Nicole Tamarin
Based on her daughter's love for Little Yellow Pear Tomatoes and the Zen teaching
of interconnectedness, Yumei was inspired to write this story. The beautiful watercolor
illustrations by Nicole Tamarin are a feast for the eyes, and catch the spirit of Yumei's
story perfectly. The wonderfully rendered detail on each page will capture the imagination
of your family.
This story leads you from Daddy planting the seeds, and Mommy weeding the patch to the
mature Little Yellow Pear Tomatoes. Each part of nature has its job; the ladybugs
and earthworms, the fresh water and the sun. There are a lot of "not tomato" things in
each little pear tomato. What a great way to teach small children a little bit about plants
and how they grow.
This book would make a welcome addition to your child's library and would be especially
useful as a classroom tool in preschool or the early grades. Share this gardening adventure
at family reading time or bedtime, and fire your children's curiosity.
A portion of the profits from this book will be donated to the Children's Global Foundation,
a non-profit organization dedicated to global peace and to homeless children worldwide. |
