3) Karen M. Greenwald
THE CABBAGE SEED'S COLOSSAL SECRET, $17.00, amazon.com
- For those parents looking for the best Summer Reads for their family – Karen M. Greenwald just released her newest book - The Cabbage Seed's Colossal Secret!
- This tells the inspiring true story of a 9-year-old South Carolina girl who grew a 40-pound cabbage and donated it to feed people in need—ultimately feeding more than 200 people in one night and inspiring this child to launch Katie's Krops, a nationwide charity where kids garden and donate in their own communities. It is still active, 17 years later!
- If you haven’t read Karen’s other books – she is known for blending meticulous historical research with heartfelt storytelling that empowers children and encourages them to see themselves as changemakers.
- My children love A Vote for Susanna: The First Woman Mayor and its the perfect read to celebrate America's 250th birthday, and The Mud Angels, also having an anniversary this year! Both spotlight real people, real history, and real acts of bravery and compassion, while also giving families, teachers, and kids tools to continue the conversation through activities, guides, and interactive learning resources.
