Excerpt:
Joan M. Holly, a silver-haired grandmother living in Santa Rosa, California, has completed her new book, “The City Farm”: a gentle story for young readers who love the outdoors.
Author Joan M. Holly shares, “’The City Farm’ closely resembles my home & beautiful gardens. Neighbors and dog walkers come by to chat and admire the flowers. I’ve loved the outdoors since I was small. As an artistic person, I love creating & sharing these gifts.”
Holly takes readers into the world of her story, writing, “Amelia loves to pick flowers of so many different kinds. She enjoys making bunches to bring inside for Gramm to put in jars on the table. So pretty to see! Ash, on the other hand, likes to inspect bugs and lizards to see how they carry on and where they live. Bees are his favorite, stopping at every flower to gather nectar. Without the bee’s pollination, nothing would turn into fruits and vegetables.”
