From the publisher: "Will Allen is no ordinary farmer. A former basketball
star, he's as tall as his truck, and he can hold a cabbage, or a
basketball, in one hand. But what is most special about Farmer Will is
that he can see what others can't see. When he looked at an abandoned
city lot he saw a huge table, big enough to feed the whole world. No
space, no problem. Poor soil, there's a solution. Need help, found it.
Farmer Will is a genius in solving problems. In 2008, the MacArthur
Foundation named him one. Jacqueline Briggs Martin, author of the
Caldecott winner, Snowflake Bentley, tells the inspiring story of
an innovator, educator, and community builder. Combined with artist
Eric Larkin's striking artwork, readers will share Will Allen’s optimism
and determination to bring good food to every table."
