corn

Binbin's new favorite book is: Corn. That's right, Corn. A book that describes some of the history of corn cultivation in the Americas, different types of corn (there are four types: sweet corn, popcorn, flint corn, and dent corn), pollination and harvesting, and products that are made from corn. Corn. Not beans, not asparagus, not broccoli. Corn. Read it, Baba, he says. I want nainai and Corn, Mama. Read it.
