As a homeschool mom, I am always on the lookout for great books to read aloud. I’m especially fond of beautiful picture books.
Hannah Miles Pierrou has released her debut picture book Farm to Film: An Alphabetical Adventure Told Through the Eyes of an Old Lens. I received a copy to review. All opinions are my own.
My Review
I enjoyed the vintage vibe and creative concept of the book. The pages don’t flow as lyrically as I anticipated, but it does take you on a beautiful journey with watercolors. The theme of the book gives readers a peek into farm life. Every page is filled with animals to delight young readers.
We read it as a family. My eight-year-old daughter enjoyed the book while my six-year-old son got a little distracted. The book has a higher price point, making this a precious gift as the holidays approach for anyone looking for an alphabet book with a distinctive art style.
Overall, this picture book is well-done! I look forward to seeing future creations from the author.

What I love about farms is the peace and quiet and solitude. Everywhere is so crowded now days, so it’s nice to see nature and have some quiet and privacy. I also like looking at old photographs, especially old black and white photos. I like to see the simpler times. Picture books that have nice illustrations or photographs with not too much text are my favorite.
