A YOUNG GARDENER LEARNS ABOUT SHARING FOOD AND THE REWARDS OF GROWING
A COMMUNITY THROUGH FOOD. The first zucchini of a summer garden is
always exciting, but what happens when the plants just keep
growing...and growing...and growing? Zora soon finds herself with more
zucchini than her family can bake, saute, or barbecue. Fortunately the
ever-resourceful girl comes up with the perfect plan--a garden swap!
Author Katherine Pryor and artist Anna Raff followup with their first
book, Sylvia's Spinach, with this playful story of a child who discovers
not only the wonder of growing food but the satisfaction of growing a
community. Shelf Awareness, says Zora's Zucchini satisfies every
appetite with its clean, happy storyline and whimsical illustrations.
and Tom Watson, EcoConsumer, writes We'll never make headway with the
pressing environmental issues of our time - such as climate change,
community-building and food waste - without brilliant, fun little books
like Zora's Zucchini . A Whole Kids Foundation Book Club selection.
