YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) – Elizabeth Cooley, a former teacher turned agriculture book author, shared her story with a local school.
She says she was inspired to write her book “Deserts Grow Veggies” because of agriculture’s importance in Yuma.
While driving by an AG field one day, she decided to write an AG story for kids.
She says she regularly attends schools to read her book and inspire students.
“So many local companies are really investing in our students and giving our children the education on agriculture because we really are at the forefront here in Yuma and so I just think it’s so neat and I’m glad my story can be a part of it,” said Cooley.
Cooley will have a book signing at Barnes and Noble on May 10.
