Bookroo's summary
Tomato wants a spot in the fruit bowl, but the other fruits aren't convinced he belongs. With clever science and help from a wise raisin, Tomato sets out to prove his place among Apple, Orange, and the rest. As he challenges the fruit hierarchy, unexpected allies emerge, raising questions about identity and belonging. Can Tomato change the minds of his fruity peers and redefine what it means to be part of the fruit family? Discover a delightful tale of acceptance and the surprising truths of botany.
From the publisher
Who belongs in the fruit bowl? Apples, check. Blueberries, check. Tomato, che— Wait, what?! Tomato wants to join the other fruits, but does he belong? The perfect mix of botany and a bunch of bananas!
All the fruit are in the bowl. There’s Apple and Orange. Strawberry and Peach. Plum and Pear. And, of course, Tomato.
Now wait just a minute! Tomatoes aren’t fruit! Or are they?
Using sly science (and some wisdom from a wise old raisin), Tomato proves all the fruit wrong and shows that he belongs in the bowl just as much as the next blueberry! And he’s bringing some unexpected friends too!
