Book Cover & Preview Text
Can you come outside to play in God’s great, green garden? The world is warm and waiting for your touch. Find your own little nook to set up a summer kitchen, and let’s get ready to make mud pies. You don’t need Wi-Fi to get connected to God’s good earth. Leave your tech toys inside and prepare to get wet, dirty, and thirsty.
Search your cupboards and pull out bowls for mixing, cups for molding, and plates for holding. Then grab a bucket and gather garnishes for decorating. Sprinkles are fun, but God’s gifts are best: flowers, leaves, nuts or berries. Do you see the heart he put in the nuts?

About the Book
What is a mud pie? It’s an ageless art form that’s made of two basic elements, water and earth, topped with natural treasures found outside like flowers, nuts or berries.
Where do you start? Here is a recipe, with step-by-step instructions, on how to make a variety of mud pies. It’s best to do it outside, with complete abandon, leaving your electronic devices inside. As you gradually become aware of the bird song in the background, you will realize that this is where you belong: in the world outside your walls.
It is quite possible to make mud pies alone, but so much better to do it together. Take the mud pie challenge! Mix up some mud with someone you love and see what you can create!

About the Author
“Sharing good books with children creates a bond that nurtures imagination, inspires creativity, and feeds the soul,” says D.H. Neufeld. Her job as a school librarian afforded her that privilege for the first part of her career. Later, that job morphed into helping teachers and students with full time IT support.
She bears witness to the tension between the potential and the problems of emerging technology. She and her husband live in a spacious farm house under the billowing clouds of the Nebraska prairie, with a garden that’s perfect for making mud pies.
