My Take on the Book
This was a cute book with a message that definitely stands out in my memory. As someone who loves gardening, this was a fun story to share with my own daughters, and after reading it once I was asked to read it again, which is always a good sign. On top of this though were some great messages about friendship that was wonderful to experience and as a parent it was a message that I live to share with my daughters, as the message really resonated with me and them, and I believe that all parents will find this to be similar in their own homes! A great story!
