Little Homesteader: a Summer Treasury of Recipes, Crafts and Wisdom

Before any activity is presented it already explains the importance of protecting our environment. This educational and informative book is printed on recycled paper with a low carbon footprint (printed in the USA). 
I love the design of the pages. They are so inviting with friendly step-by-step instructions. The activities start simple from how to make a tomato salad then progress to crafts, baking, it even made a fun picnic blanket. I like that they are easy to make and accessible (with the right supplies). 
It is a discovery book for children (activities are not overwhelming) and not an advanced gardening book. The activities are appealing even to me as an adult I find this book very cozy and learned a few things I didn't know about, like for instance, how to plant a "three sisters" garden.

My fav activities (loved most of them): how to build a bug hotel. Usually, books display bird feeders but love this one that went for insects. Found this quite original. 
Other highlights are - How to make: lemon sugar hand scrub... shampoo and a cool picnic blanket.
