Review
Told in poetic verse, this story starts with a family that plants a garden at their home in the country. Soon, their little town starts to grow into a city and it is hard to find a place to garden anymore. However, the community does end up working together to clear a vacant lot and plant a community garden. Colors are used to describe the growth of the city-"green, green fresh and clean", "brown, brown dig the ground" and "squirrel gray and pigeon blue" . Young children may be confused about what is happening as the text is very sparse. It can still be used to focus on how a community comes together to plant a garden.
Overall Book Score: good
