EXCERPT

Everyone worldwide likes different types of vegetables and fruits, that nobody can dispute.

Whether crisp and hard, soft or sweet, bitter and sour, we love to devour.

Zesty Zack loves cooking broccolini and zucchini with his pasta linguine.

Mango, strawberry, and banana give him good karma in a world full of unpredictable drama. 

Pak Choy, pumpkin, passion fruit, and peach, are some of his favourites he likes to eat.  

Tomato and potato go great in a soup; apple and kiwi are his preferred fruit.

Book Review:

This was a colorful and well-illustrated story with an easy-to-follow storyline that will captivate young readers and old alike. There is even a bit of rhyming. The story follows two brothers step by step as they construct their own garden with a bit of guidance from their parents. From tilling and sprouting seedlings, to the final harvest The author discusses the importance of plants and their contributions to our ecosystem. How they provide the necessary nutrients that our bodies need. He also emphasizes natural methods for constructing and caring for your garden. Such as recycling rainwater, using natural pesticides, worms for soil enhancement, etc All done in a way that encourages younger readers to get their own hands dirty 😁 My granddaughter began her first garden last season and has had so much fun planting, caring for, and harvesting her own fruits and vegetables. We have planted everything from beans to sunflowers. She has loved every minute of it. She was able to relate to so much of what was happening in the story. Especially the stinky manure 😝
