This beautifully painted storybook is more than just a how-to book on the dreaming, planning, troubleshooting, and celebrating of a garden. Following one family's experience and told through the perspective of the kids, it prepares your kids for both the excitement and challenges of becoming a gardener. That said, the greatest highlight of this book, in my opinion, is that it communicates a powerful message that we all need to hear: It's good to try new and even hard things. Sometimes we will have setbacks, discouragement, and even failure, but we can't give up. This book is all about getting back up and trying again. Making a choice to hold on to hope. We've only had it in our home for a few weeks, but I see my kids reaching for it and rereading it both alone and together. It captures the attention of all my kids and myself. Definitely a keeper.
