The Tortilla Factory

This book, written by Gary Paulsen and illustrated by Ruth Wright Paulsen, describes the cycle of life with simple text and lovely oil paintings. In this case the cycle involves tilling the earth, planting seed, waiting while the corn grows, harvesting it, and converting it to flour which is used in the tortilla factory to make tortillas, which are eaten by the workers who till the soil... A nice simple introduction to life cycles.
