【女孩和媽媽的蔬菜園】
到了春天，家家戶戶都在耕耘自己的庭園。和鄰居色彩繽紛的花園不同，小女孩和媽媽的庭園種滿了蔬菜，不但單調，也不像花園那麼美麗。小女孩也想像鄰居那樣種滿美麗的花朵，不喜歡無趣的蔬菜園；但收割的日子到來時，小女孩發現這些醜醜的蔬菜，居然能搖身一變，成為美麗的佳餚。
作者林佩思(Grace Lin)是移居美國的台灣繪本作家，在紐約州的家庭郊區長大，生活環境充滿如書中描繪的蔬菜園。本書小女孩的疑惑、耕種的過程和品嘗佳餚的喜悅可能皆是作者成長過程的實際體悟，而書中對「醜」蔬菜的熱愛也傳達出作者對此環境的感恩之情。蔬菜的種植與花朵不同，有時需要更深的掘土功夫或更大量的水澆灌，但這樣的辛苦最後的成果肯定能夠回報的！
本書雖在國外出版發售，書末卻附錄了台灣常見的蔬菜介紹，以及簡單的蔬菜湯食譜。想一窺這位台灣女孩在美國農作的體驗記，或和挑食的孩子介紹蔬菜的美好？這本醜蔬菜The Ugly Vegetables是你的首選！

In this charming story about celebrating differences a Chinese-American girl wishes for a garden of bright flowers instead of one full of bumpy, ugly, vegetables. The neighbors' gardens look so much prettier and so much more inviting to the young gardener than the garden of "black-purple-green vines, fuzzy wrinkled leaves, prickly stems, and a few little yellow flowers" that she and her mother grow. Nevertheless, mother assures her that "these are better than flowers." Come harvest time, everyone agrees as those ugly Chinese vegetables become the tastiest, most aromatic soup they have ever known. As the neighborhood comes together to share flowers and ugly vegetable soup, the young gardener learns that regardless of appearances, everything has its own beauty and purpose.
THE UGLY VEGETABLES springs forth with the bright and cheerful colors of blooming flowers and lumpy vegetables. Grace Lin's playful illustrations pour forth with abundant treasures. Complete with a guide to the Chinese pronunciation of the vegetables and the recipe for ugly vegetable soup! Try it . . . you'll love it, too!
