A PICKY EATER DISCOVERS THE JOY OF GROWING FOOD AND THE PLEASURE OF
TASTING SOMETHING NEW. THE SPANISH EDITION OF SYLVIA'S SPINACH.
Sylvia always says no to spinach. But one day Sylvia's teacher gives her
a packet of spinach seeds to plant for the school garden. Overcoming her
initial reluctance and giving the seeds a little love and patience,
Sylvia discovers the joy of growing food and the pleasure of tasting
something new.
Parents will identify with the challenge of feeding healthy food to a
picky eater during family dinner. Educators will understand the magic
and rewards of school gardens. Best of all, young readers will celebrate
Sylvia's strong will, curiosity, and, maybe, her love of spinach.
Katherine Pryor made her picture book debut with Sylvia's Spinach,
which has been widely used for nutrition education and school garden
curriculum. Anna Raff's many children's books include World Rat Day by
Children s Poet Laureate, J. Patrick Lewis. Katherine and Anna teamed up
for their second book together, Zora's Zucchini, published in 2015.
Sylvia's Spinach was named among 15 Books for Future Foodies by Food
Tank and is a Whole Kids Foundation Book Club selection for September
2016.
