PreK-2. Simple, rhyming text tells the story of how a little girl and her family plant a garden in the window box of their apartment. Big, bright illustrations show the African-American family buying the plants at the grocery store and the trip they take home to their apartment. There is a wonderful view of the family's neighborhood in this book. The text is limited to just one sentence per page and paired with the detailed illustrations this would be an excellent book for a spring or garden-themed storytime! One of the highlights of this book is the close up view of the garden box that gives a clear view of the different flowers and their proper names.
