Hello Kristi,

Marsha Hanzi here, from Brazil. Carolyn Nuttall has written a small but
very useful book called " A ChildrenĀ“s Food Forest" which we have translated
and used widely here in Brazil. It makes a tremendous impact on teachers,
and is being used a lot here in small and rural schools. I think it could
be an excellent starting point for you...

I am forwarding your request to her...

Marsha
