JaNay Brown-Wood grew up with a passion for writing and drafted her
first series of unpublished picture books in the second grade.
After earning a BA in Psychology from UCLA, an MA in Child
Development from CSU, and a PhD in Education from UC Davis, JaNay
still loves storytelling! Her first book, Imani's Moon, was a NAESP
Children's Book of the Year and a Reading Is Fundamental
Multicultural Book Pick. She lives with her family in
California.
Samara Hardy has always loved to draw. Unfortunately for her
parents, this was often on their walls and furniture...with her
mother's lipstick. Realizing she might make a career out of this,
she graduated with a degree in Illustration from Falmouth
University and has since illustrated all kinds of wonderful things
from picture books to reusable bags. She spends her days scribbling
away and drawing by the sea in England.
"A charming, educational book about the plants that can grow in
their gardens. . . . Brown-Wood's words coupled with Hardy's
illustrations create a colorful book for kids. . . . Perfect for
introducing kids to nature and a taste of the garden-to-table
experience. A great book for the green shelves."—School Library
Journal
"[A] cheerful second entry in the Where in the Garden? series. . .
. Illustrations done in Photoshop with layers of hand-painted ink
and watercolor textures depict a cheery, thriving urban garden
teeming with bees, ladybugs, birds, and earthworms for children to
spot. . . . This appealing title delivers plant facts in a vibrant,
harmonious setting."—Kirkus Reviews
"Hardy's colorful double-page spreads feature lots of garden detail
and thoughtfully depict each plant feature Miguel examines. Along
with the lesson on some basic plant biology, this book offers a
breezy introduction to gardening."—Booklist
