In this photo essay, students in Israel grow wheat, harvest it, turn it into flour and, using cheese from goats at a petting zoo, make cheesecake for Shavuot. The reader follows the process from the fall planting to the spring harvest. Vivid color photographs buoy the straightforward but bland text. The recipe and a note about Shavuot conclude the book.
