Kate Salley Palmer
Kate Salley Palmer was born in Orangeburg and graduated from USC. She was the first full-time editorial cartoonist in South Carolina, starting in 1978 and winning many awards in her career. In 1984 she began writing and illustrating children's books, and in 1998, started Warbranch Press with her husband. Perhaps one of the most well-known books is Palmetto – Symbol of Courage which tells the story of South Carolina's state tree. The third grade at Ashley Hall school in Charleston was so inspired by Kate's book that they wrote an original play, complete with music, based on the story of the little palmetto log fort on Sullivan's Island. Kate and her husband Jim, a retired Clemson University professor live near Clemson, SC. On being an author, Kate has said, “I became a writer because I started to read at a very young age.”

Farmer's markets
Farmer's markets and roadside markets are a great way to find fresh, locally-grown fruits and vegetables. They can also be fun places for children to explore and learn about different foods grown in South Carolina. Be sure to look for farmer's markets in your area throughout the summer!
