About
In this female-forward spin on the traditional children’s song “Old MacDonald”, readers can join Miss MacDonald on her vegetable farm and see all the work that goes into growing healthy and delicious produce.
“Miss MacDonald has a farm,
She loves things that grow!”
E-I-E-I-GROW! With a “weed-weed” here and a “pick-pick” there, young readers can follow Miss MacDonald as she tends to her vegetable farm. It’s a rollicking, rhyming read-aloud that ends in a community feast and celebrates themes of healthy eating, plant-based meals, local produce, gardening, seasons, and female farmers.
Praise
“Move over, Old MacDonald: The hardworking Miss MacDonald has a green thumb and plenty of plants. . . . This is a delightful update that centers a woman and encourages readers to consider how the foods they love appear on the table.”—Kirkus
“This is a jaunty tribute, modeled on the original song about Old MacDonald, to the hard work and satisfaction of growing food.”—School Library Journal
