Picture Book Wednesday: Happy Earth Day

Just a few nature books for Earth Day!

It isn't always easy to tell when Spring is here to stay. There are lots of tricky moments when it feels like the weather has changed, but it changes back. This is a great example of those hard to tell moments.

Folks working in the community garden shares knowledge on how to grow plants. There's a lot of plants shared in this book. I love how this book ends in a community feast. The illustrations are colorful and cheerful. The characters are diverse.  There's an end page that shares more about the plants talked about in this book. 

Grace's teacher gave her the book The Secret Garden not knowing it would change her world. Grace became interested in gardening. She became an activist, but she never forgot about gardening. Years later, in Detroit, she started a garden in vacant lots. She created something magical with the help of the community and several youth volunteers. 

How are you celebrating Earth Day?
