From the bestselling illustrator of Strictly No Elephants comes a
sweetly personal and stunningly illustrated picture book about a young
girl who grows closer to her grandfather by tending to the garden with
him.
When I am as small
as a sprout,
Grandfather's garden feels
big.
A young girl observes the bugs and blooms and the rich smell of the soil
of her grandfather's garden. Her grandfather hums as he waters his
treasured plants. And when he gives the girl a flower of her own, caring
for it teaches her to feel her grandfather's love.
Even as time passes and her grandfather's garden grows smaller and the
girl grows up, she never forgets what she learned or loses her closeness
with her nurturing grandfather.
When my daughter is as small
as a sprout, we visit Grandfather
together.
Inspired by the author-illustrator's own family, this beautiful and
personal story celebrates the love that binds families and makes us who
we are.
