Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This is a story about a field and a man who loved it enough to do something to save it from development. "Based on the author's personal efforts to protect the land, this story broadcasts a deliberate and timely environmental message that, like the intentionally nameless protagonist, anyone can make a difference. Aglow in harvest tones, Root's strong watercolor and gouache paintings heighten the story's magic."-- Booklist
"A Gulliver green book."
A man harvests and sells a bountiful crop of pumpkins so that he will be able to preserve the field from developers.
