In My Garden
What's In My Garden About
A little girl and her older friend poetically describe the garden as it changes through the seasons. This quiet, intergenerational story pays homage to experiencing nature as a child and as an adult. The two friends watch the birds, fly a kite, plant flowers and play in the snow. Two picture book giants, author/editor Charlotte Zolotow and author/illustrator Philip Stead collaborate across generations in this elegant retooling of Ms. Zolotow’s In My Garden, originally published in 1960, complete with delicate, colorful illustrations.

Stead brings his delightful illustration style and ability to this refreshing new version of Zolotow's sweet story celebrating the simple joys and pleasures of each season. The story does end a bit abruptly.
