Professor Sage is holding a contest between the young Bloomers! where each must choose their favorite vegetable to grow and care for. Violet loves purple, so of course she chooses to grow eggplants, and decides to make paintings of them to track their progress. But she runs into a problem—there’s no more purple paint! But she quickly learns that she can gather blackberries to make her own purple paint, and she ends up being able to paint her vegetables after all.
Rodale’s Bloomers picture books take young readers and listeners to Bloomers Island to experience the world of plants, flowers, and gardens. Through the lively stories and lush illustrations, a child need only to grab a book from her shelf or from his nightstand to step into the Bloomers world whenever she or he wishes.
