Turnips and Turnarounds Teresa Infante

TURNIPS AND TURNAROUNDS is the fifth of the "Vegetable Garden Stories", a collection that highlights the importance of common vegetables which we should eat every day. In each of these stories, human and citizenship values of utter meaning come to light, in easy and accessible reading content. Seldom used in our dishes due to their bitter taste, the reason for it comes exactly from some of their properties, which protect our health! Vitamins C and E, minerals such as Copper, Calcium, Iron and Zinc, among others, are fundamental to make us stronger and healthier. Hugo, the main character, facing bullying behavior at school, will make use of this knowledge and find himself an unexpected turnaround of events. Will you keep leaving this treasure off your plates?!
