Children's Book Week: Katherine Pryor, Sylvia's Spinach

Sylvia Spivens always said 'no' to spinach. But one day, Sylvia's teacher gives her a packet of spinach seeds to plant for a school garden. What to do? In the garden, Sylvia discovers the joy of growing food from the ground up and finds the pleasure of tasting something new.

Katherine Pryor makes her children's book debut with Sylvia's Spinach. She loves eating spinach sautéed, stir-fried, steamed, or straight from the garden. In addition to her writing, she is also a good food advocate based in Seattle. Katherine manages a statewide program to bring local and sustainable foods in Washington hospitals.
