Michelle Obama is writing a book about the White House garden and the benefits of healthy eating.

According to the Associated Press, the first lady has signed with the Crown Publishing Group to publish her book, which is currently untitled and set to come out in April 2012.

The White House said the garden has yielded more than 2,000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables.

“We’ve gotten food out of the garden, and we can eat it and it’s good,” Obama, 47, said Wednesday during a brief telephone interview with the AP.

“So we wanted to share the story with the rest of the nation. Maybe if you’re a local gardener yourself, you’ll be drawn by the pictures of the … garden in its various stages throughout the seasons. If you’re a kid, maybe you’ll pick up the book and read along with your teachers, and look at how we’ve incorporated young people in our garden,” she added.
