On the walk to the cafeteria today a colleague pointed out that we had a patch of wheat growing along the sidewalk. I was inspired to create a living illustration for a favorite folk story. I hope you all know the traditional tale about the little red hen whose lazy friends are unwilling to help her plant, harvest, or grind the wheat into flour, but all are willing to help her eat the bread that she makes from it. A great morality tale for readers, both young and old.
