'A Harvest Story' is an agricultural inspiration for children

“A Harvest Story,” written by Kendall Wicks and published by Agriculture in the Classroom Saskatchewan (AITC-SK), recently launched in October, celebrating Agriculture month in Saskatchewan.  

Wicks says the inspiration to write the book came from her son Ben, after he asked, “Mom, read me a combine story.”  She decided to share stories of her childhood experiences during harvest on the Canadian Prairies. For ten years, she worked on the book written in poetry, and during the pandemic she finally published it.

“It was my mom who encouraged me to pursue publishing it,” she said.  

Wicks' initial thought was to reach out to AITC-SK because she was already aware of the organization while working as a teacher at Cabri School.
