Some children like cake for their birthday, but Davey likes pie. Pumpkin pie, to be exact. And not just any pumpkin pie. Davey wants to grow the pumpkin himself.
From the moment he plants his seeds in little pots under the grow lights, Davey and his family begin a long journey through the seasons. He learns to water, weed, and wait as his pumpkins sprout and stretch toward the sun. But as Spring leads to Summer and then Fall, Davey wonders if his pumpkins will be ready in time.
With help from his family, Davey discovers that good things take patience, care, and time to grow. From seed to slice, Pie Takes Time celebrates family, food, and the sweet satisfaction of seeing something through to the end.
This cozy, beautifully illustrated story is perfect for young readers ages 3–7, homeschool families, and anyone who believes the best things in life are worth waiting for.
Walk your child through the basics of backyard chicken-keeping with this fun story of cause-and-effect, husbandry and entrepreneurialism.
Kidsteaders is here to help families learn and grow together. We believe that a good way for families to do that is by pursuing homesteading and heritage skills. Many children long to engage in meaningful work with respected adults. Gardening, tending to small livestock or a mini-orchard, learning simple construction or how to troubleshoot and fix what’s broken; it all builds confidence and competence that they will carry with them for life. Working and learning together provides an opportunity to instill family values and have spontaneous conversations in an unforced, organic environment. We create stories that can be used as inspiration points for families to incorporate these useful skills into their family life.
