My Busy Green Garden (Paperback)

This lyrical tribute to the bugs, bees, and birds that make gardens so active, My Busy Green Garden is also a gentle meditation on the rewards of paying attention. With each turned page, more beautifully illustrated garden visitors appear! All the while the a chrusalis changes unnoticed until, on the last page, a butterfly emerges and flies away across the garden’s well-tended borders. A chipmunk also hides on every page to divert and engage young readers. The back-of-book notes about the natural histories of the garden’s denizens complete this lovely and lively portrait of backyard nature. Recommended for ages 4 to 7.
