Illustrated by
Trina L. Hunner.
When a stray cat appears at a community farm, she is welcomed by the farmers and makes herself at home among the plants. Molly the cat's presence steers the text's discussion of organic farming, with back matter adding more details about topics such as crop rotation, companion planting, and compost. The child-friendly illustrations, including photos of the real-life Molly, complement the approachable story.
