Onions in My Boots: Basic Gardening for Young Sprouts From gardening projects in this book, children will learn goal-setting, decision-making, how to follow through on a project, and patience. One of the best ways to learn about science is through hands-on experience. If you’d like to trim grocery expenses and introduce your children to how God makes plants grow and where food really comes from, you can get off to a good start with Onions in My Boots: Basic Gardening for Young Sprouts .

Whether you live in country or city, this easy-to-follow children’s book teaches the budget-easing survival skill of growing your own food. Using items on hand, children learn that one tomato plant—even one planted on an apartment balcony—can produce enough fruit in one season to pay for the cost of the book. Children will delight in the simple hands-on science, participating in God’s creation, and sharing their home-grown, free produce.
