"I'm not sure, but let's keep counting until we do," replied Rose. "We will finish faster with both of us of helping." One Thousand Black Walnuts is a delightful, entertaining story about a farm family who gathers wild black walnuts to sell. While picking up the walnuts, the kids learn about this industry from their mom. Readers discover the uses for black walnuts, from shell to nut, and even how wildlife depend on the nuts as a food source. The author, Sunshine Shanks, and the illustrator, Rebecca Vierra, bring this story to life and showcase the black walnuts' many uses. Young minds are exposed to counting by hundreds, agriculture literacy, recipes, and a valuable natural resource, the black walnut tree.
