Modern Farms

Modern farms are pretty neat! They give us all enough to eat!

This award-winning, nonfiction picture book introduces young children to farm life and is bound to spark conversations about where our food comes from. Rhyming verse and bright, attention-getting illustrations teach about the many different types of farms, from row crops to fruits and vegetables, to farm animals. Realistic farming images introduce readers to the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) that go into producing our food today.

Jackie Nix, herself an agricultural scientist, uses her technical expertise and artistic skills to proudly tell the story of farm life today and specialized farming technology used to grow food for the entire world. Modern farms are as specialized and diverse as the many delicious foods they provide for us. Whether they are big or small, farms grow the food for one and all!
