Author Description

Rosie, a little girl with a curiosity as big as all outdoors, discovers the magic of the garden in this delightfully illustrated book for children from three to eight. Her world disrupted by a move to a new place, Rosie learns about choosing seeds, planting, fertilizing, and nurturing flowers and vegetables and, after the seeds have sprouted, she plays wonderful games using her imagination to turn the plants into her babies or her loyal subjects. When school time rolls around, Rosie finds comfort in her new friends, many of whom resemble the marvelous flowers she's grown in her summer garden. Children who read about Rosie's garden adventure can try their own hands at growing plants using the seed packets attached to the back cover of the book.
