#1140. American Grown


From the official press release:

Through telling the story of the White House kitchen garden, Mrs. Obama will explore in American Grown how increased access to healthy, affordable food can promote better eating habits and improve health of families and communities across America.  Mrs. Obama will describe how her daughters Sasha and Malia were catalysts for change in her own family's eating behavior, which inspired Mrs. Obama to plant an edible garden on the South Lawn - the first since Eleanor Roosevelt's "Victory Garden" planted during World War II.  The book will be inspirational and instructive and will provide ideas and resources for readers to get involved in the movement and create community, school, and urban gardens, support local farmers' markets, and make small lifestyle changes to achieve big health results.
