Maya Shetreat-Klein’s, M.D., The Dirt Cure ($26.00, 384 pp) discusses how exposure to microbes and nutrients found in fertile soil can transform a child’s health. In addition to recommendations based on studies and case histories, tips and recipes, this book also explores what causes soil to lose its fertility, how to find nutritious food (in the backyard) and provides a plan for finding the most wholesome diet for a child.
