The Gardener—Stewart/Small

Winsome story, delightful--colored pencil(?) and ink-- pictures.  A young girl blooms where she’s planted in hard times, taking her love of growing things to the city where she is displaced for a while during the Depression.  She uses her passion to transform the world around her, leaving it a brighter, more hopeful place.  Don’t miss this author/artist duo!  Who knows what ambitions such a story will plant in a young hearer’s heart?
