A child plants a tiny seed and wonders what secrets it might hold.

As it grows and grows and grows, she nurtures the little plant until it isn't so little anymore—in fact, it's COLOSSAL. What does one do with a colossal cabbage? The girl dreams that the cabbage feeds a soup kitchen full of neighbours, inspiring her to grow more veggies to share with her community. This act of kindness sparks a movement, inspiring kids and families all over the country to grow veggies to share with their own communities. When she wakes up, she is ready to let the world in on the cabbage's colossal secret.

The Cabbage Seed's Colossal Secret is inspired by the true story of Katie Stagliano, her forty-pound cabbage, and the nonprofit, Katie's Krops. Backmatter includes ways for readers to start their own sharing garden.
