With one small seed every day, what good will
you plant in the world? Johnny Appleseed—an American folk
hero—changed our nation seed by seed, deed by deed, and now the acclaimed Esmé
Raji Codell and award-winning Lynne Rae Perkins celebrate his legendary life.
This beautiful biographical picture book is an excellent choice to share during
homeschooling, and includes suggestions for celebrating John Chapman’s birthday
(September 26), apple craft ideas, and a recipe.
Why should we remember Johnny Appleseed
today—more than two hundred years after he was born—and call him a hero? Why
are the life and lessons of John Appleseed relevant to kids now? This
extraordinary picture book from educator, librarian, and best-selling author
Esme Raji Codell and award-winning illustrator Lynne Rae Perkins answers these
questions and more—and challenges readers to follow the five footsteps John
Chapman left behind:
1. Use what you have
2. Share what you have
3. Respect nature
4. Try to make peace where there is war
5. You can reach your destination by taking
small steps
An insightful and friendly text, stunning
mixed-media illustrations that combine wood, paper, paint, and fabric, and a
winning mixture of information and inspiration make for a stellar picture book
for all ages. Sure to be a classroom
and seasonal favorite.
