Eat Your Words is a statewide promotion of reading to healthy eating. The book Sylvia's Spinach by Katherine Pryor is a centerpiece of this initiative. The book tells the story of a little girl whose mind is open to trying a new food when she grows it in her school garden.
Maryland SNAP-Ed wants your family to be like Sylvia and try something new! Whether it's experimenting with gardening, visiting the farmers market, or cooking and trying new foods as a family, we hope everyone will look for new ways to experience healthy foods.
Anyone can be a part of Eat Your Words! Start by borrowing the book from your local library, or watching this read aloud. Read the book together as a family, then explore the resources in the menu below.
