Inspired by Zen teachings, Little Yellow Pear Tomatoes is a children's picturebook about a young girl who explores the circle of life and marvels at the collaboration and effort involved in cultivating fruits she loves so much. Written in singsong rhyming verse, and beautifully illustrated in full color, Little Yellow Pear Tomatoes explores the fundamental connections between all people, labors, and things big and small. "I am in these little yellow pear tomatoes, too, / because if I didn't love eating them / so much, my daddy wouldn't plant them! // Each little yellow pear tomato / has the entire earth and all of heaven / in it... just like me. // I love little yellow pear tomatoes!"

Rebeccasreads highly recommends LITTLE YELLOW PEAR TOMATOES as a thoughtful & charming way to introduce kids to the growing cycle of life, from weeds to tasting, from worms to water, from sunshine to caterpillars, & of course, the little girl, because if she didn't like them, her daddy wouldn't grow them.

As a grower of LITTLE YELLOW PEAR TOMATOES, I wholeheartedly recommend this lovely book which will grace your family's library & entrance youngsters for generations to come.
