Any storytellers out there?

Hi everyone. I am new to the forum and am collecting heirloom tomato stories for possible use in a children's book that I am writing. It is a fiction book for 5th-6th grade students, and serves as a vehicle for lots of elementary science content as well as authentic stories about several heirloom varieties. If you know any great stories, I'd love to hear them. Also any old pictures would be delightful. I'm particularly interested in accounts of how tomato seeds were brought from the Old World--the more stealthy the better! Of course full credit will be given in the bibliography.
