In the Garden

“With many close-ups and a realistic feel, this has potential to both introduce an understanding of how things grow and be a useful easy reader.”—Booklist

“Subtle, understated spreads complement the powerfully quiet text. The soft lines move just enough to create gentle energy within each frame. . . With a little water and tender loving care, it’s a pleasure to watch this garden grow.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Delicately illustrated. . . Oliphant’s illustrations express the passage of time through changes in light. . . while Spurr’s careful descriptions capture the slow but gratifying process of planting and harvesting.”—Publishers Weekly
