Join award-winning author & storyteller Dianne de Las Casas and illustrator Marita Gentry for the launch of The Gigantic Sweet Potato. Live illustration will accompany interactive storytelling. Celebrate with us and help Dianne & Marita unearth their newest and sweetest book yet! Tons of fun for everyone!
When Ma Farmer gets a hankering
for some sweet potato pie, she decides to plant a sweet potato in her
garden. But when it comes time to harvest, the sweet potato has grown to
be so enormous that it is stuck! So Ma grabs Pa, but the sweet potato
still won’t budge. Soon Bessie Cow, Ralphie Dog, and Kitty Cat join in
to help; that sweet potato sure is stubborn. When itty-bitty Lily Mouse
offers to help, everyone soon learns that a small and mighty effort can
yield GIGANTIC rewards.
This sweet adaptation of the Russian folktale “The Giant Turnip” features vibrant watercolor illustrations to accompany the singsong text. Ma Farmer’s secret (and kid-friendly) recipe for sweet potato pie and sweet potato fun facts complete the book.
