About the author
Kathy Coatney
49 books449 followersUnder the name K.T. Coatney, I write fast-paced suspense featuring the elite agents of FIRE—Federal Investigations and Reconnaissance Enforcement—where danger is real, the stakes are high, and love is the last line of defense.
As Kathy Coatney, I bring that same passion for storytelling to deeply emotional, small-town contemporary romance. My novels explore themes of love, community, and the agricultural roots that have shaped my life. Some readers may remember me as Kate Curran, but these days, all my books are published under the Coatney name.
I’m also the author of the nonfiction children’s series From the Farm to the Table and Dad’s Girls, celebrating the journey from farm to fork.

Book Description:
“Farmer Dan is an almond guy. He raises almonds and also grows wildflowers to feed the bees that pollinate his almonds. Text with photographs of Farmer Dan tells the story of how almonds are grown. The From the Farm to the Table series are books about agriculture designed for second and third grade readers. The text of each book highlights second grade vocabulary words.
Author Kathy Coatney runs an olive farm with her husband, and has spent the past 15 years working as a freelance photojournalist specializing in agriculture.”
Book 5 in a series of exceptionally well-written educational reads for second or third grade comprehension. Close-up and interesting photos and information help the reader to understand how almonds grow, how they are harvested and processed for the end user. Just enough information not to overwhelm a young reader yet keeping them engaged. Second grade vocabulary list at the end (underlined throughout the text) as well as resources for creating lesson plans, list of almond industry terms and additional website resources.
This is a definite “must have” series on agriculture to learn and enjoy not only for the classroom but for home as well.
