Growing up healthy: Fun food facts and recipes

What better way to savor Earth Day, April 22, than with a forkful of blueberry pie?

Ignite an interest in gardening, healthy foods, fresh air and sunshine with “What’s in the Garden?,” Marianne Berkes’s new children’s book. Each section opens with a rhyming riddle about a garden fruit or vegetable, followed by an easy recipe that showcases the answer.

The colorful illustrations by Cris Arbo feature a diverse array of kids eating fruits and veggies and tending crops.

Recommended for kids ages 3 to 8, the book begs to be interacted with, whether the kids are guessing answers to the riddles or deciding which seeds to plant in the garden.
