This is not a vegetable… Vegetables are any part of the plant that you can eat (that isn’t the ovaries), such as leaves, roots, and stems. But if it grew from a flower and holds seeds…it’s a fruit. Music credit: Tielmour Press @katieleereinert.bsky.social #nature #botany

Tons of industry pros (agents, editors, artists) are donating items, so spread the word to writers and illustrators who want professional help on their project. Opportunities like this come very rarely to get feedback from this caliber of professionals. Plus it supports worthy organizations.
