American Farm Bureau Foundation for Education Recommended Book Thomas Jefferson was more than a president and patriot. He was also a planter and gardener who loved to watch things grow—everything from plants and crops to even his brand-new nation. As minister to France, Jefferson promoted all things American, sharing corn and pecans with his Parisian neighbors. As secretary of state, he encouraged his fellow farmers to grow olives, rice and maple trees. As president, he doubled the size of the nation with the Louisiana Purchase. Even in his retirement, Jefferson continued to nurture the nation, laying the groundwork for the University of Virginia. In this meticulously researched picture book for older readers, author Peggy Thomas uncovers Jefferson's passion for agriculture and his country. And Stacy Innerst's incredibly original illustrations offer the right balance of reverence and whimsy. This is Thomas Jefferson as he's never been seen before! Back matter includes an author's note on Jefferson's legacy today; timeline, bibliography; place to visit (Monticello); and source notes.

Following the American Revolution, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams fundamentally didn't agree on how the country should be run. Both men would be president--and yet, they didn't see eye to eye for many years. This book offers a unique take on the founding of the United States through the eyes of two Founding Fathers, including the writing of the U.S. Constitution and the creation of the first political parties. Quotes from the prolific writings of both Jefferson and Adams provide a true look at their beliefs and historical images take readers right into the rooms where it happened.
