As young Pearl tends to her urban garden in the tradition of her mother and grandmother, her dedication and generosity inspire family members to share in the work and reap the rewards.
Pearl wanted a vegetable garden. The city's gardener, James, told her, "We'll deliver the soil, plants, and seeds. But first you'll need to okay it with your mom."
Pearl promised to do all the work. She and James planted squash, cucumber, broccoli, corn, carrots, and more. She knew her backyard garden would keep her busy all summer.
Every day Pearl watered and weeded. She coaxed the plants along. Pearl's mom and auntie and grandparents watched her care for the garden. They remembered long-ago summers when they also tended the family garden--and how hard they worked.
Soon it was time to harvest all those vegetables. Pearl realized she was going to need some help. Everyone was busy, but Pearl had an idea.
Pearl picked onions and garlic and tomatoes and peppers. She made fresh salsa for snacking. Her whole family enjoyed it. And then Pearl asked if anyone could help in the garden that week. How could they refuse? Pearl smiled: Her bountiful backyard garden might get harvested after all.
Written and illustrated by Carolyn Olson, Pearl's Garden celebrates the power of urban gardens to bring people together--to share memories, to raise plants, and to savor fresh flavors.
