The Woman and the Wheat

About this book

There once was a woman who planted some wheat... So begins this rhythmical festive childrens book about the joy of a farmer as she works to grow the wheat and bake that bread that she will offer back to her Creator in Eucharistic celebration. The vibrant images -- reminiscent of fields in the American mid-west -- sparkle in light-saturated warm jewel-tones and provide the perfect backdrop for the story of a woman in love with the earth and her labor and equally in love with her God.
