"This adaptation has been approved by the author"--Container.
Read by Michelle Obama, Jim Adams, Charlie Brandts, Christeta Comerford, Sam Kass, Bill Yosses, and a full cast.
In April 2009, First Lady Michelle Obama planted a vegetable garden on the White House's South Lawn. As fresh vegetables, fruit, and herbs sprouted from the ground, this White House Kitchen Garden inspired a new conversation all across the country about the good we feed our families and the impact it has on the health and well-being of our children. In February 2010, she launched Let's Move!, a nationwide initiative to address the epidemic of childhood obesity by bringing healthier food into schools and communities, and encouraging kids to be more active. In her first-ever audiobook, Mrs. Obama invites the listener inside the White House Kitchen Garden and shares its inspiring story.
