About this book

Explore how sweet potatoes grow, from trailing vines and colorful flowers to underground roots, harvests, cooking, and Thanksgiving favorites.

Sweet Potatoes Book for Kids

SWEET POTATOES! gives young readers a close-up look at this colorful root vegetable through beautiful real photographs and engaging, easy-to-understand facts. Kids will discover where sweet potatoes came from, how they grow, why they are related to morning glories instead of regular potatoes, and how their underground roots store energy for the plant.

Inside you'll discover:

  • Why sweet potatoes are not closely related to regular potatoes
  • How vines, flowers, and shoots help sweet potato plants grow
  • How thickened underground roots develop and are harvested
  • Why sweet potatoes can have white, yellow, orange, or purple flesh
  • How sweet potatoes are cooked, cured, and enjoyed in foods around the world

Readers will also discover how new plants can grow from slips, why orange sweet potatoes contain beta-carotene, and how even the leaves and tender shoots can be eaten. From farm fields and garden soil to mashed sweet potatoes, fries, casseroles, and Thanksgiving tables, each page reveals another fascinating part of the sweet potato story.

This large 8.25" x 8.25" premium photo book features beautiful full-color real photographs and kid-friendly facts for an educational exploration of sweet potatoes, plant growth, roots, vines, flowers, harvesting, nutrition, cooking, and seasonal traditions.
