"Mary Lewandowski is a wonderful and caring person whose passion for farming is shared clearly in this book. Her intent to bring young readers into the Wisconsin dairy farming lifestyle is communicated at a level that youth (and adults) will find informative and interesting. As our world continues to 'evolve', this book will keep young readers grounded and aware of the work and process that goes into bringing so much of what we eat from the farm to the table."
-- "Monte Dunnum, Wisconsin State FFA Honors Band Director""Travel with Mary, a sixth-generation farmer in the beautiful state of Wisconsin, on a typical day of dairy farming. The reader is introduced to the dairy cow, how quality milk is produced, and other animals raised on her farm. A great introduction for elementary age students to familiarize themselves with the daily care farmers provide for their animals."
-- "Mary Lou Kugel, retired dairy farmer and volunteer teacher for Adventures in Dairyland""Wisconsin dairy farms come in all shapes and sizes. Some are big, some are small, but every farmer has a story--and Mary has done a wonderful job opening her barn door and letting readers in on the story of her farm!"
-- "Wisconsin Agriculture in the Classroom""Bright, colorful photos and easy-to-understand text make Welcome to My Farm a great book choice for early learners! Author Mary Lewandowski does an excellent job showing what life is like on one of Wisconsin's family farms--for humans and cows, and barn cats, too!"

-- "School Library Journal (starred review)""In a personable tone and with a wealth of expertise, Lewandowski describes her work as rewarding and clearly enjoys explaining it to children. The text is enhanced by color photos, many featuring cute farm animals (and Lewandowski's kittens and collies), that enable young readers to understand her work and envision the equipment she uses.... With practical information, readable explanations, and crisp photo illustrations, here's an appealing choice for children's nonfiction collections, especially in agricultural regions."
-- "Booklist""Welcome to My Farm embodies the definition of 'life on the farm.' It's incredibly insightful and showcases our rich Wisconsin dairy roots. We highly recommend this read to anyone who is curious about cows, farmers, and crops. We're incredibly proud of the author, Mary Lewandowski, for embodying the true passion of agriculture and educating her readers about our proud industry."
