GRANDPA’S
TREASURE
Grandpa’s Treasure is a read-aloud fiction book of
high literary value and coffee table production quality.
Unique to this product category, it is photo illustrated
and designed in an understated, cinematic style.
Synopsis
Far away where the cornfields grow, Aaron and Will find
a castle. Can they find a treasure too? Best friends Will
and Aaron take a trip from their suburban neighborhood to
Grandpa's farm for a day of fun and adventure. They discover
what makes a barn a castle - and what makes Grandpa the king.
Theme
With America's barns and farmland vanishing rapidly, thousand
of children are growing up in expanding suburbs, literally
living on top of former farmland. Some can still see abandoned
barns, silos, even the persistent farmer still operating
a combine in his fields despite development encroaching on
his land. Grandpa's Treasure was written to remind all of
us, young and old, that our farmland and rural history are
treasures worth preserving. This beautiful, photo-illustrated
volume is presented in appreciation of the ongoing labor
and commitment of the American farmer.
