New book shares the beauty of harvest

Harvest time has been brought to life in a new Saskatchewan children’s book.

A Harvest Story was launched at the beginning of October to join in celebrating Agriculture Month in Saskatchewan.

The book walks students through a day in the life of a farmer at harvest time, providing a glimpse into the family farm and the beauty of reaping what is sown as farmers work to feed the world. The storybook helps deepen students understanding of agriculture and its importance in their lives.

Since its introduction, Agriculture in the Classroom Saskatchewan (AITC-SK) received over 145 orders. The first 50 orders also received a class set so that each student was given a book to take home and enjoy with their families.
