Book recommendation: My Garden

Buy it: My Garden

My Garden (By Kevin Henkes) – A little girl helps her mother in the garden, but dreams of having a garden of her own. In her garden, the flowers would bloom forever and would change color just by thinking of it. The rabbits would be made of chocolate and she would be able to grow things like jellybeans and seashells. The book includes darling pictures of all the things the girl imagines for her garden. In the end, the girl sneaks out to her mother’s garden and plants a seashell in the dirt. Who knows what will happen?

The book recommendations included on this website are books that my daughter Ally, now age 5, have read and enjoyed together. I recommend the books that stand out to me as excellent children’s books for writing, illustrations, originality, story and characters. Ally and I hope you enjoy them too!
