Talia and the Rude Vegetables

Linda Elovitz Marshall illustrated by Francesca Assirelli

“How can a vegetable be rude?” Talia wonders, when she mis-hears her grandmother asking her to gather

root vegetables for the Rosh Hashanah stew. As Talia digs in the garden, she collects the twisted, ornery carrots and parsnips—the “rude” vegetables she thinks her grandmother wants—and finds a good home for the rest of the harvest.

Linda Elovitz Marshall raised her four children, a small flock of sheep, lots of zucchinis and countless rabbits on a farm in a historic farmhouse overlooking the Hudson River in upstate New York. A graduate of Barnard College of Columbia University, she has taught early childhood and parenting education, owned a bookstore, and taught English to people from other countries. This is her first children’s book.

Francesca Assirelli studied painting at the Accademia delle Belle Arti in Naples. She has illustrated many Italian, French and English children’s books. She loves children, spends hours playing with her enormous dog, Artù, and can often be found kneeling by a pond looking for toads.
