Honey and Laurel share a love for gardening, nurturing plants and friendship alike. But when a 'For Sale' sign appears in Honey's yard, their world shifts. With Honey moving away due to her mother's illness, what will become of their cherished garden? And how will Laurel cope without her dear friend? This touching tale explores the resilience of friendship and the growth it inspires, even amidst life's unexpected changes.
Perfect for fans of the Caldecott Honor Book The Gardener by Sarah Stewart and David Small, here’s a heartwarming spring picture book about gardening and friendship.
Every day, Honey tends her garden, thinning the lettuces, pulling up beets, and even singing to the kale. (Honey says if you listen carefully, you can hear the kale singing back!) Laurel, the little girl who lives next door, likes to help, weeding the rows, washing vegetables under the pump, and gathering speckled eggs from the chicken coop. But one day there is a FOR SALE sign in Honey’s front yard. Honey’s mother is sick, and she is moving away! What will happen to Honey’s garden? And what will Laurel do without her friend? Here is a touching story that beautifully illustrates how friendship—just like a garden—grows.

“The message in this book is about sharing, about being grateful for the work of others, about building and contributing. The message is important, but I don't like the illustrations and the word choice didn't really impress me or feel memorable.”
