Sit down, child. Let me tell you a story...


And now from the other side of the aisle: It's Just a Plant--a (loooong) picture book about marijuana. Here's the scoop: "It follows the journey of a young girl as she learns about the plant from a diverse cast of characters including her parents, a local farmer, a doctor, and a police officer."

You can read much of the book at its website. (Link via Boing Boing; Image from the It's Just a Plant website.)

Once Upon a Time, writers wrote stories for children...*

-----------------------
*Just kidding. I know children have listened to pedagogy and propaganda in the guise of story for eons.

I'll add this on the list next the My Beautiful Mommy.

Seriously, though. Mental note that I hope I never feel I need to buy this book.

No, seriously!? I guess if you're a parent who seriously has trouble talking to your child about drugs this could --

No.
No, sorry. This is still the LAMEST thing I've ever heard.

***HOWEVER*** having not read the book, this is me, reserving judgment.

PJ: It's pratically a canon
