Celebrate summer with this seasonal treasury of nature-based crafts, baking recipes and gardening projects for the season, inspired by the homesteading lifestyle with self-sufficient and eco-friendly fun, charmingly illustrated by AnneliesDraws.

Locally printed on 100% recycled paper, this lovely book includes summer-themed projects and screen-free ideas such as making natural shampoo, learning about honey harvesting, handprinting a picnic blanket, crafting a sun catcher and tasty summertime recipes such as homemade watermelon popsicles.

Woven alongside the cooking, crafting, and planting projects are little snippets of seasonal information and self-sufficient wisdom from homesteading teacher Angela Fanning of Axe and Root Homestead, with a focus on enjoying and celebrating the best of what summer has to offer.

The Little Country Cottage series helps kids get creative, practise handy self-sufficiency skills, handcraft items for themselves or as gifts for loved ones, learn about nature and celebrate the best of each season.
