Publisher's summary

The author of Nigel and the Moon, delivers a tender intergenerational story inspired by his childhood in the rural south. Here's a farm stand that represents the importance of family, community, and hope.

Every stand has a story.

This one is mine.

Saturday is for harvesting. And one little boy is excited to work alongside his Papa as they collect eggs, plums, peppers and pumpkins to sell at their stand in the farmer's market. Of course, it's more than a farmer's market. Papa knows each customer's order, from Ms. Rosa's pumpkins to Mr. Johnny's peppers. And when Papa can't make it to the stand, his community gathers around him, with dishes made of his own produce.

With lyrical text, this poignant picture book—adapted for audio—reveals a family's pride in their work, and reminds us to harvest love and hope from those around us.

★ "A sumptuously illustrated, bittersweet story that’s at once an ode to and a eulogy for Black American farms."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

★ "This multilayered story can be shared either as a family pulling together to keep their business running or as a deeper exploration of a situation many Black farmers and communities have faced."—Booklist, starred review
