We Are A Garden

2021

by Lisa Westberg Peters and Victoria Tentler-Krylov

"This lyrical and extremely timely picture book illuminates the many different migrants who have made their homes in North America through the centuries. The wind blew in a girl and her clan, where herds of mammoths still wandered the frozen tundra. It later blew a boy and his family across frigid waters, and they spread across the new land. Over time, the wind continued to disperse newcomers from all directions. It blew in men who hoped to find gold, and slave ships, and immigrant families. And so it continued, for generations and generations. Here is a moving and tender picture book that beautifully examines centuries of North American history and its people." -- publisher

Just Read!

"These kids all love to read—alone or together, on a bus or in a parade. And every time they open a book, they open up a whole new world, too! Learning to read is a big accomplishment, and this exuberant picture book celebrates reading in its many forms. In lively rhyme, it follows a diverse group of word-loving children who grab the opportunity to read wherever and whenever they can. They read while waiting and while sliding or swinging; they read music and in Braille and the signs on the road. And, sometimes, they even read together, in a special fort they’ve built. The colorful, fanciful art and rollicking text will get every child more excited about reading!" -- publisher
