Soon, Zora has another great idea- she trades some zucchinis with her neighbor who is growing tomatoes, and then sets up a veggie swap for all the people in her neighborhood.
She takes them home and plants them, and soon, her plants have flowers- and then zucchinis! She makes all sorts of fun zucchini dishes with her family, but the zucchinis keep growing. When she passes the hardware store, she notices that they have zucchini plants for free. Zora is a little bored during her summer vacation, so she rides her bike around the neighborhood. ZORA'S ZUCCHINI is a delightful picture book that explores growing vegetables and sharing with neighbors. She has two new picture books, Spring is for Strawberries & Home is Calling, releasing in 2023. Her first board book, Hello, Garden!, won the 2022 Gold Medal, IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award. Her third picture book, Bea's Bees, was called "a necessary addition to elementary library shelves as an important contribution to the understanding and conservation of bees" by School Library Journal. Her second picture book, Zora's Zucchini, won the 2016 Growing Good Kids Book Award. She made her picture book debut with Sylvia’s Spinach, which is widely used to support nutrition education and school garden curriculum. In addition to writing, Katherine has worked to create better food choices at institutions, large corporations & food banks. Her books are widely used in school garden curriculum, nutrition education, and anti-hunger initiatives. She grew up in California and Arizona before moving to Seattle to study food and farming. Katherine Pryor is an award-winning children’s book author and good food advocate. " A Whole Kids Foundation Book Club selection. 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. 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. 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.
