Peculiar Produce

Peculiar Produce helps us learn about uncommon foods and discover the names of children from different cultures through alliterative text and aspirational vocabulary. The simple and silly characters, from Ashanti the active Asparagus to Izumi the interesting Ice Cream Bean, help us explore the shapes and actions of these easy-going edibles to learn about affirming words, uplifting attitudes, body inclusivity, and healthy eating. Peculiar Produce is a reading tool for early childcare through elementary school children, engaging them with direct and indirect messages about diversity and inclusion and sparks conversations about all that is peculiar. We hope you enjoy this book as much as we do. Thank you.
