This Year’s Garden (Cynthia Rylant)
I have just started straightening out my garden, so this seems an appropriate book to feature today.
This is a simple book about the “life-cycle” of a vegetable garden. We follow a family and their garden through the seasons beginning with their eager springtime anticipation of the last frost, and ending with fall canning and the wait for next year’s garden. There is a certain comfort in this book as we follow the rhythm of the seasons, knowing that next year all will be the same.
The illustrations appear to be in colored pencil and are a nice complement to the simple happenings in the garden.
