MY NEW BOOK COMES OUT TOMORROW AND IT IS CALLED SPICES AND SPUDS! Lithub, Kirkus and School Library Journal all think it's cool! Maybe you will too? My book is about plants, it is not about politics. Give yourself a little break and read about tulips.
The School Library Journal liked my new book, Spices and Spuds! It's about plants!! Publication day is November 5th, a day when nothing else of consequence is happening in the United States of America.
SPICES AND SPUDS review "This visually sweeping and instructive middle-grade graphic nonfiction traces 10 agricultural products across continents and millennia to highlight the relationship between plants and humans....wildly informative, highly engaging.” https://t.co/nSZGYNR6dn
I have a book coming out next month called SPICES AND SPUDS & you can buy it RIGHT NOW! Good for curious kids, plant-loving adults & anybody who likes silly little recurring jokes. Kirkus called it “informative and eye-opening,” “fascinating” and “digestible.” Go digest my book!
