* Winner of the EZRA JACK KEATS WRITER AWARD * An ALA Notable Children's Book * A CLEL Bell Award Winner The beautiful simplicity of a garden is depicted through digital woodcut illustrations and engaging nonfiction text presented as a series of sweet questions and gentle replies. Less of a traditional how-to and more of a how-to-appreciate, this soothingly sparse text paints an inviting and accessible picture of what a garden offers. And with an all-child cast, the absence of an adult presence empowers readers to view the garden and its creatures through their own eyes, driven by curiosity and wonder.
This delightful book embodies the magic of gardening and encourages all readers, from those who LOVE the outdoors to those with hesitation, to interact with nature at their own, comfortable pace.
La hermosa simplicidad de un jard?n se representa a trav?s de ilustraciones digitales grabadas en madera, y con una dulce serie de preguntas y respuestas. Usando poco texto y con lenguaje acogedor, este libro pinta una imagen atractiva de lo que ofrece un jard?n. La falta de presencia adulta en esta historia permite a los peque?os lectores ver el jard?n y sus criaturas a trav?s de sus propios ojos, impulsados por la curiosidad y el asombro.
Este libro encantador expresa la magia de la jardiner?a, y anima a todos los lectores, desde los que
aman el aire libre hasta los que no, a interactuar c?modamente con la naturaleza y a su propio ritmo.

About the AuthorKari Percival's illustration style is rooted in the woodcuts she's been carving and printing for more than two decades. Kari is a 2017 recipient of the New England SCBWI Four-by-Four Mentorship. She earned a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a master's in education and environmental science from Antioch University. Ecology has always been her favorite topic to teach, whether in the classroom or in the community garden. Kari lives with her husband and two children just outside Boston near a magical waterfall. On rainy days, she can be found rescuing earthworms out of puddles (because she just can't walk by when they are wiggling for help).
