From School Library Journal PreS-Gr 2—A fuzzy, brown rabbit and a tiny notch-eared mouse plant tomato, carrot, and cabbage seeds and then wait for the plants to grow and produce. As they bide their time, the two sit in the rain, nap, and read books. Readers will notice the sky beginning to fill with birds, which the rabbit and mouse don't see until the fruits—or vegetables—of their labor are ready to eat. Then five winged creatures descend and look expectantly, in a priceless illustration, at the two farmers that try to protect their bounty from the intruders. A verbal argument and scuffle ensue until they all reach an understanding. After the seed of cooperation is planted among the seven characters, peace reigns and friendship grows. Nelson's charmingly realistic illustrations skillfully show the passage of time and humorously accurate emotions and body language. The textures shown in the fur and feathers and the small details in the large oil on canvas paintings create images for study (and framing). The message, so clearly read in the illustrations, is a universal truth—you reap what you sow and when shared with others, your joy will be magnified. VERDICT A timeless and delectable picture book choice.—Maryann H. Owen, Children's Literature Specialist, Mt. Pleasant, WI
Review “Nelson adeptly balances whimsical, naturalistic, and instructional ideas to create a story that satisfies on multiple levels.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review))“A timeless and delectable picture book choice.” (School Library Journal)“Though the message is as old as time, its delivery here is fresh and sweet as August corn.” (Kirkus Reviews)

20 of 20 people found the following review helpful. A very special book for young children. By anniedelasol I order and read a lot of children's books to find ones suitable to support a curriculum of mindfulness, loving kindness, gratitude and connection to others. In all those books I come across a few real jewels; where the art is beautiful, the story is simply and clearly told, and the age level works for young children. This is one of those books. It doesn't try to say everything, but to say one thing very very well. I love this book. thank you Kadir Nelso. I hope you continue to produce other books with the same clear purpose and beauty.
8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Beautiful! By J. M. Hoffmann Gorgeous illustrations and a sweet story with a message to read over and over again.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. My kid adores this book and asks for it over and over By Delia Linnet My 5 year old loves this book. It has a lovely message and the pictures are gorgeous--the vegetables look so real like you could lean down and take a bite, the protagonists are expressive, and the colors are brilliant. It doesn't say too much, so it makes it so that kids want to discuss what's going on in the story and why, which is neat. We love this author's book He's Got the Whole World In His Hands, too, for the beautiful pictures that, like this book, just make you feel lifted up and glad to be in this beautiful world.
