The Little Regenerative Farmer & The Amazing Garden follows a young girl who learns about the balance of nature when she discovers her neighbor’s garden. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?

The inspiration for our story was from seeing so much wasted space and upkeep for school grounds and other public spaces that could be used to grow food. Many advanced schools have school gardens and other resources to connect kids with nature. How amazing would it be if we all thought that way?

Is there anything from your own life you put into Lina’s character and her experiences?

Lina carries my bullheadedness. I want to do so many things in life, but there’s always someone telling me why it’s a bad idea or how it’s not possible when in reality so many amazing changes can be made if we deviate from the normal. I hope it inspires little ones to think more freely and understand that their special ideas can be a reality even if they are at first not supported.

What is one thing you hope young readers and their families can take away from Lina’s story?

I hope readers can be inspired to look at spaces differently. Regenerative agriculture can apply to so much more than farming. How can we improve our environments in farmland, suburbs, and even urban spaces to improve soil and grow nutrient-dense food for our communities? So much can change with a little inspiration and perseverance.

Can we look forward to more books in this series? What are you currently working on?

We are looking forward to many more stories in the series. We are drawing inspiration from the hardworking farmers in the US and how they are transforming the agriculture industry and cannot wait to share their stories.
