{"product_id":"rice-is-life","title":"Rice Is Life","description":"In Bali, as in many parts of the world, rice is more than just a staple food-rice is life!\nIn Bali, life revolves around the planting and harvesting of rice. While eels slip through the mud and dragonflies flutter overhead, farmers plant seedlings in the wet rice field, or 'saweh.' Soon each plant is crowned with flowers, and tiny green kernels appear. Rain nourishes the kernels, which grow plump and sweet. The green plants turn golden and ripe, and everyone helps harvest the grain. When the harvest is finished, the farmers give thanks to the goddess of rice for a successful crop.\nFrom planting the seeds to harvesting the ripe grain, this beautiful, poetic book tells the story of rice and of the Balinese people, for whom rice is life.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0805057196\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0805057196.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Gelman, Rita Golden|Choi, Yangsook\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is a well used but readable copy.
