Publisher's Synopsis
8-Year-old Tia'lynn Mitchell, a Girl from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, whose father has been incarcerated since she was born, wants to help others end discrimination, despite her circumstances. Although Tia's father was incarcerated since she was just a few months old, he inspired her to write her book after sending her a copy of the book he published about fatherhood from prison which included a picture of the two of them embracing for the last time in the free world. Her book, "The Orange in the All Vegetable School" focuses on the discrimination of Ohna the orange when she is transferred to an All Vegetable School. Ohna not only fights to overcome her own inner battles but to be heard and accepted for her merits, instead of being rejected for her genetic makeup. How much of a difference can one orange girl make in a school full of vegetables? Find out in "The Orange in the All Vegetable School" by Tia'lynn Mitchell.
