I Grew Up On A Farm, an autobiographical sketch of life on a working farm in Middletown, New York during the 1950s, is written by local author Alan Lewis and illustrated by local artist Bob Fletcher. Alan Lewis brings back memories of a time gone by, before Nintendo, before instant messaging, and before microwave ovens. Uniquely illustrated with black and white photographs expanded to full color drawings, this early reader for ages 4-8 will surely engage readers of all ages.
"Children need to read about a quieter time when nature filled their day, and their feet touched the earth."
– Judy Martin, Librarian
I Grew Up On A Farm "provides a refreshing approach toward introducing farm life to children and, at the same time, provides a sense of nostalgia to readers of all ages."
– Mary Margaret Green, Elementary School Librarian
"...through pictures and words, children can see life on a farm in the 1950's"
-Charles Manno, owner "The Book Cellar Cafe"
