The Pale Pickle came to life when two creatives, author and recipe curator Stephanie Krubsack, and illustrator Nhi Poss, teamed up to create a children’s book and paired cookbook that promotes healthy eating, organic gardening, composting and community. Join Pip and family as they move from Pickle Valley to Pickle City. Learn about urban gardening in the city, healthy eating tips, and making new friends. Follow along, and even learn how to make some of the healthy recipes for you and your family! Click here to download a free coloring page!

The paired cookbook includes 10 allergy-friendly recipes that are made of mostly plants and taste great! Each recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, and vegan and customizable for anyone.

Both books are printed environmentally friendly and safe for kids, made with FSC certified recycled paper, vegetable-based inks, and printed locally in the USA! The shipping mailers are also repurposed or compostable!

The emissions created from the production of this book are also offset, as we (Purevant Living) joined the Carbonfree® Partner Program and 1% For The Planet, and donated to support a renewable energy project. Please see our Sustainability page to learn more. This means that your purchase today is carbon neutral!

You can order the book set online here or at select retailers below. We encourage you to support local and purchase books at your favorite shop. Since shipping fees are so high, you'll actually save by purchasing in-store too!
