BOOK SYNOPSIS
If there is any such thing as a "super" plant, that plant is the soybean. Used for an amazing variety of things-plastics, fuel, soap, and medicine-soybeans are also a healthy food source for animals and people. Award-winning photographer and children's book author Raymond Bial magnificently captures one of the world's most important plants. Readers will learn that the United States produces the most soybeans in the world-3 billion bushels a year. This photo-essay includes botanical information about the soybean, its interesting history, and a good description of the planting and harvesting of this super crop. Raymond Bial, who lives in Illinois, is a former librarian and author of many critically acclaimed books including, Portrait of a Farm Family, Amish Home, and Tenement: Immigrant Life on the Lower East Side.
