A Sneak Peek at "Right at This Very Minute"

What’s that you say? You’re hungry? Right this very minute?

Then you need a farmer.

You have the stories, the knowledge, the hard work, the pride, and the dedication of so many right here on your table, in your hands, in your lunchbox, on your plate, and on your fork. Award-winners Lisl H. Detlefsen and Renée Kurilla’s delicious celebration of food and farming is sure to inspire readers of all ages to learn more about where their food comes from—right this very minute!

Lisl H. Detlefsen writes while she watches wildlife wander past her office window. She is the author of the 2017 Wisconsin Ag in the Classroom Book of the Year, Time for Cranberries, illustrated by Jed Henry, and If You Had a Jetpack, illustrated by Linzie Hunter. Lisl lives on a cranberry marsh near Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, with her husband and two sons, and her favorite part of the year is when it's time for harvest.
