Katie is sure it would be fun to be a farmer. All you have to do is plant seeds and watch them grow. Pedro’s aunt is a farmer, and she works very hard. Katie will find out just how hard farmers work when she and Pedro help get ready for a day at the farmer’s market. Katie loves her community and that love is shown in Katie Woo’s Neighborhood, an early chapter book series by author Fran Manushkin.
Fran Manushkin is the author of many popular picture books, including How Mama Brought the Spring; Baby, Come Out!; Latkes and Applesauce: A Hanukkah Story; and The Tushy Book. There is a real Katie Woo – she’s Fran’s great-niece – but she never gets in half the trouble of the Katie Woo in the books. Fran writes on her beloved MacBook in New York City.
Laura Zarrin spent her childhood in the St. Louis area exploring creeks, woods, and attic closets, with plenty of tree climbing and digging for artifacts in the backyard all in preparation for her future career as an archeologist. She never became one because she realized she’s much happier drawing. Laura lives in Silicon Valley in California with her very logical husband and teen sons, and their illogical dog, Cody.www.laurazarrinstudios.com@Laura Zarrin
