As I read this book, I was thinking of the lessons I could do in a classroom. The book could be used for a science lesson combined with teaching how to be a good friend by being kind, helpful, and accepting each other's differences. The questions presented for discussion throughout make it easy to interact with a child while reading. Trallala and other characters in the book are so cute I found myself smiling many times! -Morgan Helms, Certified Elementary School Teacher -Introducing young readers to a superfood like hemp is a great idea, and the work of Anndrea Hermann and team in the English version of the Markus J. Altenfels and Roswitha Mayr book, Everyone Loves Trallala: The Exciting Journey of a Little Hempseed, have done a splendid job at it. Through uplifting storytelling that weaves fictional narrative with hemp facts, charming illustrations (by Rooobert Bayer) and questions posed to readers within the story, we follow the young seed Trallala through her farmyard journey to the field of singing flowers. Along the way we learn of hemp's food and industrial applications, and end in a literal smile, where Trallala grows into a healthy, robust, seed producing plant herself. A highly recommended read for families. -Doug Fine, Author, American Hemp Farmer and Hemp Bound
