Across Grandma??Garden

Across Grandma's Garden tells the story of a young girl who possesses a love for and ever-growing knowledge of gardening. From trees, flowers and bugs, to animals, fruits and vegetables, this story's rhyming words will increase children's gardening vocabularies while they fall in love with nature and all of its offerings. Based on co-author Karen Williams Angelucci's childhood experiences in the garden with her own Grandmother, the story playfully and whimsically introduces early readers to the enchanted world of gardening and the timeless family bonds that can form while digging in the dirt with someone you love, and who loves you back.
