More about Growing Together:
“An exceptional portrayal of a community’s commitment to nurturing their garden and one another.”–School Library Journal
A bountiful celebration of community, teamwork, and gardening from bestselling author Ruth Spiro and award-winning artist Paola Escobar.
A child and a seedling find themselves at home in their local urban community garden. With the help of firefighters, chefs, shopkeepers, and many more members of their community, they grow alongside the flowers, vegetables, friendships, and more all summer long, together.
Perfect for readers of We Are the Gardeners and Dear Girl, young readers and gardeners will also love the backmatter with fun facts about the produce grown in the story.
Come dig in the dirt with your friends and your neighbors!
More about How to Explain Climate Science to a Grown-Up:
The best-selling author of the Baby Loves Science series levels up with this playful STEM picture book introducing kids (and grown-ups) to climate science.
Do you want to know a secret? Sometimes grown-ups need YOU to explain things to THEM. Like climate science!
In this tongue-in-cheek guide, an in-the-know narrator instructs kid readers in the fine art of explaining climate science to a grown-up. Both children and their adults learn:
- The difference between weather and climate.
- How climate scientists collect data.
- What causes climate change.
- What we can do to reverse course and repair the planet.
Fun and fact-filled, the How to Explain Science to a Grown-Up series will empower kid experts to explore complex scientific concepts with any grown-up who will listen.
