Author Insight

Trying new foods.

I wrote Don't Eat Your Boogers while I was working in daycare and observed both a lot of booger eating and picky eaters. So I thought I would combine the two issues into a story. In this scene, Goober is trying spinach for the first time. After all, it is one of the gross, dark, leafy green vegetables to cure boogeritis.

Book Excerpt

Don't Eat Your Boogers (You'll Turn Green)

That night Goober’s Mom made pork chops
with mashed potatoes and steamed spinach
for dinner. Goober ate his meal with gusto
but couldn’t bring himself to take a bite of
spinach.
However, he couldn’t go to school
this shade of green tomorrow either. Oh,
how he wished some other veggies would do
the trick. He really liked broccoli, peas, and
lima beans. Why couldn’t he just eat some of
those?
With a sigh, he lifted a forkful of
spinach to his mouth. Closing his eyes, he
chewed and chewed…and chewed. With a
pronounced swallow, he opened his eyes and
focused on the taste. He was surprised that
it really wasn’t that bad. This might work he
thought. He finished the spinach, all the
while staring down the double layer
chocolate cake that was for dessert.
