In a Garden is a vibrant, rhythmic celebration of how gardens grow—with help from many tiny, hardworking neighbors.
Beginning with a single seed resting in the soil, this lively picture book follows a garden’s journey from seed to sprout to bud to flower. Along the way, worms, ladybugs, millipedes, termites, and other garden critters dig, crawl, and work together beneath the surface, showing young readers that a healthy garden is a living community.
Tim McCanna’s joyful, rhyming text pairs beautifully with Aimée Sicuro’s colorful illustrations, making this a standout read-aloud that is as fun as it is informative.
