Overview

In this second book of The Flavors of Us series, readers step into a vibrant classroom garden where every seed carries a story. When students bring seeds from their families' kitchens and cultures-black-eyed peas, peppers, cilantro, bok choy, collards, callaloo-they're excited... until doubts begin to sprout. Are the peppers too spicy? Will the cilantro stay tiny? Will the collards take over the whole box? With gentle guidance and a little patience, the children learn that every plant grows at its own pace-and every flavor has a place. As the garden comes alive with sprouts, leaves, and colors from around the world, the class discovers that difference is not something to fear but something to celebrate. When harvest day arrives, the students chop, stir, and taste the vegetables they grew together, creating a warm ""friendship soup"" that highlights the magic of community. The Flavors of Us: What's in Your Garden? blends storytelling, social-emotional learning, and cultural appreciation in a way that feels joyful, gentle, and age-appropriate. Told in lyrical rhyming prose with bright illustrations, this story invites children to wonder about where food comes from, how plants grow, and how our families' traditions shape who we are. Perfect for classroom read-alouds, community-building lessons, and home libraries, this book supports learning in: Cultural appreciation Cooperation and teamwork Social-emotional skills Basic gardening and science concepts Global awareness and belonging This second installment continues the mission of The Flavors of Us series-celebrating difference through food, tradition, and shared experiences.
