Younger and older readers will enjoy We Are the Gardeners, written by Joanna Gaines and illustrated by Julianna Swaney. In this book, Joanna Gaines (of HGTV’s Fixer Upper fame) and her kids chronicle their adventures starting a garden, describing the mishaps, joys, and lessons that happen along the way. They begin with a story many aspiring gardeners can relate to–accidentally loving their potted fern plant to death by over-watering it! Swaney’s illustrations bring to life the beautiful garden the family ultimately created.
