Potatoes, Papaw, and Me
What child doesn't treasure a day with Grandpa on the farm? Potatoes, Papaw, and Me is a charming tale of a little girl helping her grandfather harvest potatoes. Written in verse, the rhythm and descriptive detail makes each page a fun, upbeat read while leading the reader through lively snapshots from the garden, to the well, to the table, to relaxing when the work is done.
Hiruni’s illustrations perfectly represent the tone of this fun-loving story. Follow along with these two animated characters as they enjoy each other and their chore on the farm.
Unique to picture books, the final pages include tips for parents and teachers for reading Potatoes, Papaw, and Me and for using it as an anchor text for writing. While enjoying the story, parents and teachers can engage children in a way that helps them become even better readers and writers.
"This lyrical book with enchanting watercolor illustrations makes me smile. Children can become aware of lifetime memories they can be making with their grandparents. And with help from the educational back pages, they can be encouraged to write their own memories." --Jafran
"I loved the lyrical quality of this book. A simple story, yet moving and comforting in the telling. I am sure young children will enjoy it but so will adults because although written for children, it is far from childish. A real joy." --Amazon customer, United Kingdom
"Loved reading this book with my 4 year old daughter. We used the prompts in the back to talk about her special memories with her grandparents. Would make a great birthday or Christmas present to a child or grandchild!" --Ellen
"Such a sweet story. It brings back memories of working beside my grandfather in his garden. As a new grandmother, I will definitely buy a hard copy of this book for my granddaughter." --K.Rose
