Cultivado En Harlem (Spanish Edition)

by Tony Hillery (Author) Jessie Hartland (Illustrator)

Reading Level: K − 1st Grade

Una vez, en una gran ciudad llamada Nueva York, en un animado vecindario, había un terreno vacío. Nevaeh lo llamaba el jardín embrujado. Cultivado en Harlem cuenta la inspiradora historia real de cómo un hombre marcó la diferencia en un vecindario.

Luego de ver lo inquietos que estaban los estudiantes de una escuela mal financiada, y la falta de opciones de comida saludable, Tony Hillery los invitó a convertir un terreno vacío en una hermosa y útil granja. Al ensuciarse las manos, estos niños hicieron de un espacio abandonado algo hermoso y productivo, a la vez que tuvieron la oportunidad de colaborar y aprender acerca de la comida saludable y sostenible. Cinco años después, los niños y sus padres, con la ayuda del personal de Cultivado en Harlem, cultivan miles de libras de frutas y vegetales cada año. Todo eso es entregado a los niños y sus familias.
