How does your garden grow? This wondrous New York Times bestselling picture book from Caldecott medalist Kevin Henkes celebrates imagination, a child's first burst of independence, and the promise of warmer weather.
This intimate exploration of a child's burgeoning imagination hits every note right. Just plain perfect. --Kirkus (starred review)
A child imagines a garden where flowers live forever, the only rabbits are chocolate, what you plant actually grows, and unusual things pop up like gifts from the soil. If only we were all so lucky!
This picture book pays tribute to a child's imagination and independence. It features large type, a big, square trim size, and an inquisitive and humorous text, making it an outstanding read-aloud to treasure. The luscious illustrations are Kevin Henkes at his best--playful, vibrant, inviting, and full of wonder.
Kevin Henkes is a #1 New York Times bestselling author who has been awarded the Caldecott Medal for Kitten's First Full Moon, two Caldecott Honors, two Newbery Honors, two Geisel Honors, the Children's Literature Lecture Award, and Children's Literature Legacy Award, among numerous other honors.
