- Synopsis
- Stop and smell the roses of Ecuador with Isabella as she learns how treating farmworkers and Mother Earth fairly makes the world bloom! También disponible en español.Isabella loves to write, especially about the vibrant flowers her parents grow as farmworkers. When her teacher announces a school writing contest in honor of Pachamama, Mother Earth, Isabella decides to write about the rose farms where "pink, red, yellow, and orange roses grow in rows that go on forever." In sweet poems and journal entries, Isabella notes how her parents feel much better working at a new Fair Trade farm. This new farm takes a lot of steps to keep both farmworkers and the environment safe, like avoiding dangerous pesticides that make people, especially farmworkers, sick. With clear, joyful text by acclaimed author Diana Cohn, and captivating illustrations, Roses for Isabella introduces readers to the cultural traditions of Ecuador and the importance of making choices that support farmworkers and the environment. Award-winning illustrator Amy Córdova Boone presents Isabella's world in artwork as vibrant as her beloved flowers. Join Isabella in this celebration of farmworkers and the beautiful gifts we receive from Mother Earth!
