Does your child love discovering how the world works? Herbs for Kids takes curious young readers on a journey through 25 of the most fascinating plants on Earth - from the lavender fields of Provence to the rainforests of South America - with stunning photography on every page.
Inside, kids will discover:
- Why peppermint doesn't exist in nature - it was created by a lucky accident in an English field in the 1600s, and every plant alive today is a cutting from that original
- How stevia is 200 to 400 times sweeter than sugar yet contains zero calories - and how to grow it on your windowsill and taste the leaf yourself
- The herb ancient Greeks believed could only grow if you shouted and cursed at it while planting the seeds (hint: it's in every pasta dish you've ever eaten)
- Why catnip sends cats into a rolling frenzy - and how that same chemical is ten times more effective at repelling mosquitoes than commercial bug spray
- How dandelions are secretly a superfood - with more vitamin C than oranges, more calcium than milk, and edible roots, flowers, leaves, and seeds
- The herb Cleopatra rubbed on her skin every day, the one Greek students wore as a crown during exams, and the one that literally turns your fingers bright orange
- How to grow every herb in the book - soil, sunlight, watering, step-by-step planting instructions, and exactly when and how to harvest
Written for curious kids ages 7-12, Herbs for Kids pairs beautiful full-color photography with fun, fact-packed writing that makes every page feel like a discovery. Each of the 25 herbs gets its own dedicated spread covering what it looks like, where it comes from, what it's used for, its health benefits, surprising uses, and a complete growing guide your child can actually follow. This is nonfiction for kids who want to understand the amazing, sometimes bizarre, always fascinating world of plants.
Perfect for young nature lovers, budding gardeners, and curious readers everywhere.
