Las Calabacitas de Zora

A YOUNG GARDENER LEARNS ABOUT SHARING FOOD AND THE REWARDS OF GROWING A COMMUNITY THROUGH FOOD. THE SPANISH EDITION OF ZORA’S ZUCCHINI. 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. 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. Shelf Awareness, says Zora’s Zucchini satisfies every appetite with its clean, happy storyline and whimsical illustrations. and 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 .
