Just picture it - a sunny meadow, gently swaying grass, and a group of hardworking farmers gathering hay to be transformed into bales. Amidst all the hustle and bustle, one hay bale named Buster stands out. Hey Hey Hay! walks us through Buster's journey from the moment he's baled, tied with twine, and loaded onto a truck.
But the adventure doesn't end there. Buster soon finds himself on a truck heading to a nearby farm, ready to provide nourishment for the farm animals over the winter months. The excitement builds as Buster arrives at the farm, where he is unloaded and stacked in the barn alongside his fellow hay bales.

Every bale of hay has a little bit of summer sun stored in the heart of it— learn from a mother-daughter team how hay is made!
Feeding her horses one cold and wintry day, a girl thinks about all the hard work that went into the fresh-smelling bales she's using. The rhyming text and brilliant full-page paintings follow the girl and her mother through the summer as they cut, spread, dry and bale in the fields.
Mower blades slice through the grass./A new row falls with every pass./Next we spread the grass to dry./The tedder makes those grasses fly!
This celebration of summer, farming, and family, illustrated by Pura Belpré honor artist Joe Cepeda, includes a glossary of haymaking words, and a recipe for making your own switchel— a traditional farm drink, to cool you down in the summer heat.
