Dad just wants to relax, but Mom has other plans! Little Johnny needs to eat enough veggies to earn the "Veggie Star" award in class, and since Mom's out of town, Dad's got the job. But there's a catch: Little Johnny's a picky eater, and Mom's 103-step veggie medley recipe is the only way she's found to get him to eat his greens! When Dad discovers his favorite BBQ spot has a veggie medley special, he thinks he's lucked out-greasy meat for him and veggies for Little Johnny!

What follows is a laugh-out-loud adventure as Dad and Little Johnny tackle everything from a never-ending line at the restaurant to hilarious kitchen disasters as Dad fumbles his way through Mom's complicated recipe. Just when it seems like all hope is lost, Dad "takes charge" in his own way and puts together a veggie medley that only he could dream up! A funny, feel-good story for kids and parents alike-especially dads-that celebrates the joys and mishaps of family life and the imperfect art of stepping up.
