We've
gathered together a wonderful crop of children's
garden books that value nature, community,
and cycles of growth.
These children’s picture and
story books about flower gardens,
butterflies
and earthworms are fun and beautifully illustrated
to help children celebrate
the joys of planting, cultivating,
and learning
about the wonders of nature.
It's
hard for young children to imagine that the
little seed they planted will grow into a beautiful
flower or that a caterpillar can turn
into a butterfly.
Or how earthworms can make kitchen scraps
disappear. This is the magical effect nature
can have!
