BROCCOLI ROBBY

Fans of “A Bad Case of Stripes,” “Frog and Toad” and “The Music of Life” will love Robby Maninoff, a budding pianist preparing for an important concert. Robby’s mom is worried that he’s not getting enough nutrients, but who needs vegetables? Robby is stoked! That is, until he settles into a hot bath and sees all his color going down the drain! Mom quickly calls Uncle Louie, the local wishing fairy, who flies right over with a chlorophyllic solution—broccoli with garlic sauce! Robby has no choice but to eat it. BROCCOLI ROBBY is a cautionary tale about what happens when frogs don’t eat their greens. Written in a style reminiscent of Dr. Seuss, Rosalinde’s words and vibrant illustrations create an entertaining read for kids of absolutely ALL ages!

Rosalinde Block has been writing and illustrating for children for over 40 years. Her books have won Mom's Choice Awards as well as endorsements from American Ballet Theatre star Misty Copeland and the International Baccalaureate. Her stories, starring a vibrant cast of characters, evoke humor, altruism, self-awareness, vulnerability and earnestness—"parables for the young." Born and raised in St. Louis, Rosalinde moved to New York City after graduating from Sarah Lawrence College. She is a mother and a wife. Some say Rosalinde has a "PhD in life." Drawing from her own childhood, the priceless job of parenthood as well as her many years of teaching, these vast experiences have made her an effective and inspirational writer.
