The Spinach in my Teeth begins when a little boy named Riley is getting ready for his first day at a new school. Riley’s mom packs his favorite lunch, a big spinach salad. Of course, it gets stuck in his teeth. After the embarrassing discovery that he had been walking around sporting a green glob all afternoon, an encounter with a sly, sassy, rhyming rabbit and her friends–who naturally love spinach–gives Riley a new appreciation for the leafy green. And he passes it on to his friends, too!

About the Authors

The Spinach in My Teeth was created after author Gigi Carter posted a story—about having spinach stuck in her teeth back in college and then again recently at a supermarket—on her mytrueself.com Insider e-newsletter. Gigi’s mom shared that newsletter with her friends, and they all agreed that Gigi should write a children’s book.

What a good idea! The first person she thought of to help her with the book was her friend Michael Grady, who shares her sarcastic sense of humor.

Michael is a musician with the UniverseXplodes, and his beautiful stained glass art is displayed and sold at Island Thyme Shop – Crow Valley Gallery in Eastsound, Washington. Connect with Michael through his Facebook.

Gigi is co-founder of Healthy for My Purpose Academy and author of The Plant-Based Workplace.
