As I write this, it’s August, 2012, and sweet corn is beginning to be abundant here in Connecticut, where I live. This is my favorite season, and my favorite summer vegetable too. When I discovered this wonderful book, I picked it up immediately, and began to read it voraciously. I really like this book, and corn is, of course, an evocation of much more for the author and her readers. Atina Diffley has a great story to tell, and she tells it well in this lovely, powerful, evocative book.
