How. Stinking. Cute. This is such a fun read! I love that there’s a list of ways to involve your kids in your homesteading at the end, makes it almost interactive!

Don't mind me... I'm just going to go buy 50 acres of land, plant dozens of fruit trees and a vegetable garden, learn to sew, and go buy a few baby farm animals. It sounds like a dream come true! This book is such a motivator for me to live simply/enjoy the simple things and build a homestead (once we finally are free of the military lifestyle). The illustrations are stunning and heartwarming as well. I am so happy I was able to read an advance copy of this incredible children's book. Thank you, NetGalley!

Farm Steading and cottagecore seem to be soaring in popularity and have been thriving for quite some time. People clasp onto the integrity and high values passed down to them by family members who loved with a protective instinct unrivaled by any other. Carolyn Bennet Frasier has picked up on the cue and created a charming children's picture book that not only encapsulates what this population is looking to hand down and instill in their own children but teaches valuable lessons as well. Each page teaches young emerging readers a new letter of the alphabet-- a core building block for parents who want their children to either have a more enriched and fulfilling academic experience or who choose to homeschool.

Families will undoubtedly adore the whimsical children in this delightful children's picture book as they read through every word and admire the illustrations on every page. The section with helpful author tips and encouragement is an additional bonus which will make this book popular with children and their families.

Families who farm, homestead, or homeschool will enjoy reading about all the things kids and parents can do to support themselves at home. Families who do not do these things will get a glimpse into a different way of life and the many things that can be learned and accomplished from it. This book is an excellent resource to springboard into many topics and hands on activities. Beautifully illustrated pictures show landscapes, animals, and multi-generational, traditional families working together. This one is a must buy!

M is for Mason Jar is a delightful alphabet book that goes through each letter of the alphabet exploring various aspects of homesteading. The book is beautifully illustrated.

Thanks to the author and to netgalley for providing me this book in exchange for an honest review!
M is for mason Jar is the sweetest book for learning the alphabet and / or new words related to homestead, its short sweet, pretty clever if you ask me, and the drawings are pretty nice.
It's a pretty solid educational and funny book perfect for little ones, I want to give this to certaing young boy who for the life of me cannot learn the alphabet, it would help!

M is for Mason Jar is a charming ABC book with sweet, nostalgic illustrations and clever alliterations that capture the spirit of modern homesteading. I really enjoyed how each letter highlighted a simple, hands-on activity—from baking biscuits to scattering seeds—which makes it fun and educational for kids (and honestly, adults too). The illustrations are super cute and cozy, perfectly matching the homestead vibe.

X is always a tough letter in alphabet books, and I think they handled it as well as possible—it didn’t feel like a total stretch. Overall, it’s a lovely little picture book that blends old-fashioned values with a modern touch, encouraging kids to appreciate nature, work with their hands, and embrace the joys of homegrown living.

A cozy and creative look at homesteading, told from A to Z. Wholesome, charming, and full of down-to-earth inspiration.

This book is SO, SO cute! A must have for any homesteader with kids. I love the page at the end that gives tips for how kids can get involved. It's a fun and innovative way for the littlest homesteaders to learn their ABC's, but with beautiful illustrations and relatable examples that older kids and adults can appreciate as well. I can't wait to purchase a hard copy for our bookshelf!
