Description



About the Book



Jayden discovers the secret ingredient to trying something new.



Book Synopsis



Jayden discovers the secret ingredient to trying something new.

Jayden loves the outdoors and the garden he created with his friend Mr. Curtis. But he's not so sure about sampling some of the garden's produce. When Mr. Curtis invites neighbors to share the harvest of scarlet runner beans, Jayden faces a dilemma. Will he find the courage to try something new?

Jayden returns for all new adventures in Jayden's Secret Ingredient. This story, which can be read as a standalone or as a sequel to the award-winning Jayden's Impossible Garden, emphasizes the importance of friendship, community, and the courage and openness to try new things. Along with Mr. Curtis and Jayden, readers learn the value of outdoor play and contact with nature, from planting a seed to sharing and eating what it produces. This story is a natural starting point for the exploration of nature, ecology, and gardening, as well as for a cooking club.

At the back of the book, a section for adults has additional activities and other information to expand on the story and its ideas.



Review Quotes




"Highly recommended."-- "Children's Bookwatch"

"I wish I'd had this book when my kids were growing up. Jayden's Secret Ingredient is a story that encourages a more adventurous mealtime spirit. And the included recipes sound scrumptious. I can't wait to try them all!"--Tameka Fryer Brown, children's book author and Charlotte Zolotow Honor Award winner
