A delightful picture book that celebrates summer fun for a little girl ? Ttalks about farms in Southern California and what is disappearing There is a Southern California that many don?t know. It was (and is) a land of farms and orchards and plenty that became largely a memory in just a few decades. Parts of it are still there, and some of it (like the author's 100-year old family farm) are being preserved. This book recalls the simple fun of being a kid on such a working farm. We may pave over a lot of it but the memories will remain. This delightful picture book celebrates summer fun for a little girl as it talks about orchards and farms in Southern California and why they are disappearing.
