Most people think of autumn as the time of harvest, but in the United States, the harvesting of food takes place all year long. From carrots in January to strawberries in April to watermelons in July, there is a wonderful and constant diversity of crops. Stunning photographs and a clear and simple text take the reader through the calendar year and show the crops growing and being harvested, as well as children enjoying foods of all shapes, sizes, and colors. The team who created Extra Cheese, Please! now brings you Harvest Year, a phenomenal new book that is as beautiful as it is informative.

"An exceptional offering from the writer/illustrator team who produced Extra Cheese, Please!" --School Library Journal

"In a month-by-month spread of vivid color photos and brief text, the author introduces the bounty of crops produced across the U.S. Each month is treated in two large pages that include a map highlighting the producing states, children enjoying one of the products, a picturesque crop in the field, and a piece of unusual machinery. . . . This engaging book will interest city and country dwellers of all ages, as it provides a pictorial glimpse of the industry behind common grocery store items." --Booklist
