Down Where the Roots Run Deep

Where does our food come from?

This heartfelt picture book takes children on a journey through faith, farming, and family traditions, while reminding them that the deepest roots grow not just in soil, but in love.

When a little boy and his sister spend the day with Grandpa (and their father), they discover stories of watermelons, sugarcane, and the hard work that feeds generations. Along the way, they also learn some about pollinators, farm stewardship, and how caring for the land is part of caring for each other.

Set in the fields of South Georgia, Down Where the Roots Run Deep celebrates the farming heritage that shapes families and communities.
