(3) K-3 Illustrated by Nicole Tadgell. Just like Thomas Jefferson's friendly competition with his gentlemen farmer neighbors, Maya's class plants peas and has a First Peas to the Table contest. The amiable story line includes gardening troubles, such as a windstorm that knocks over some of the plants, but ends with the winner's bowl of peas served to the class.
