    Take a trip to the Farmer's Market in this book filled with vibrant and delicious poems!

    Poetry can be as fresh and delicious as the farmers' market produce it celebrates in this bright collection. Unexpected, ingenious imagery and enticing artwork will inspire young readers and their imaginations.  In these vivid poems, blueberries are "flavor-filled fireworks," cucumbers are "a fleet of green submarines in a wicker sea," lettuce tastes like "butter and pepper and salt," but sometimes "I crunch into a leaf the very same flavor as rain."  Kid-friendly recipes are included at the end of the book!
    Irene Latham is the award-winning author of two novels for children, Leaving Gee's Bend and Don't Feed the Boy. Her first poetry picture book, Dear Wandering Wildebeest, won a Nerdy Book Award for Poetry and was named an NCTE 2015 Notable Poetry book, among other honors. She lives in Birmingham, Alabama.
