Review: Little Homesteader : A Summer Treasury of Recipes, Crafts and Wisdom - Angela Ferraro- Fanning - May 2022 This series is amazing, each book represents a season and the Summer treasury was an amazing collection of crafts, arts, and recipes of things you can make with your children. As the book series is American, we have our Summers Arts and nice recipes to cozy up with. With recipes on how to make your very own flower crown to enjoying your bath time with your very own fizzy bath bombs .
