The Final Product!

Well, after months of writing and re-writing, with assistance from my amazing editor, Alex, I have finally managed to put together a book for children with simple healthy recipes.  The book plots the every-day adventures of several edible herbs living in a small herb garden which is visited regularly by two neighbouring children. 
The main character, Queen Marigold, is enmeshed in a web of royal intrigue that threatens to unseat her royal rule.  As children follow the story, they are regularly invited to trial each of the simple recipes featuring one of the herbs.  For instance, after the story starring Pedro Parsley, sample recipes including parsley as a feature ingredient are offered for children to try.  Parental participation is highly encouraged.
This is a simple concept, but hopefully one that appeals to children and adults alike.  My hope is that by engaging children's imagination, simple concepts about healthy home prepared food will be endorsed.  It may even help to break the embargo on highly processed packaged foods!!
So now it's off to submit my book proposal ...
