The Ugly Vegetables

(2) PS A young girl is disappointed with her family's Chinese vegetable garden because the other gardens in the neighborhood are like "rainbows of flowers." Her mother reassures her that the ugly vegetables are better than flowers; sure enough, the aromatic vegetable soup her mother makes brings the whole neighborhood to their door for a taste. The simply told text is well matched with the lively, color-saturated paintings.
