Potatoes, Papaw, and Me is an endearing story 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.
