We Are The Gardeners

By


We Are the Gardeners 
Written by Joanna Gaines and children
Illustrated by Julianna Swaney
Tommy Nelson, 2019. Informational.

The Gaines children start out with just one little plant that they’re taking care of, but quickly their love of plant tending grows, and they decide as a family to expand into an entire garden! They have to plan the layout of their garden, learn how much work goes into maintaining it, and fix things after some pesky animals cause them some problems. They deal with a few setbacks, but their love for their garden, and their hard work, is enough to keep them going.

Filled with beautiful drawings and wise tidbits about gardening disguised as simply parts of the story, this book is as lovely as it is smart. Part gardening how-to and part family story, “We Are the Gardeners” is a fun and calm book that is enjoyable for both kids and adults.

Review: Last One Picked

By
  Last One Picked By Audrey Meeker New York: Feiwel & Friends, 2026. Comic.  Annabeth has never been very athletic, but that doesn't matter. She is perfectly content to spend her time with her Warrior Princess books and volunteering at the library. When summer comes, her mom is convinced by their stuck up neighbor to send Annabeth to volleyball camp, the last place she would ever want to be.
