Recently I visited a school here in Florida where students were eating vegetables they had grown in their school garden. What better way for kids to eat fresh vegetables than from what they have grown themselves?
Kids need to eat more nutritious meals and less junk food at home and at school. Obesity now affects one in three American children. In my picture book, What's in the Garden? published by Dawn Publications, children learn that good food doesn't begin on a store shelf with a box. It comes from a garden bursting with life, color, sounds, smells, sunshine, moisture, birds and bees.
In What's in the Garden? Cris Arbo's glorious illustrations depict summer gardens buzzing with life and kids enjoying the "fruits of their labors." Kid friendly recipes can be downloaded for each fruit or veggie I've written about to help begin a lifetime of healthy eating.

With snow finally off the ground in most places now, this book is just in time for Spring Planting, so what will be in your garden this summer?
