Synopsis

IN THE SPRING what I love best in my garden are the birds
building nests.

In the spring what I love most to do is fly kites.

In this quiet story, a young girl and her older companion describe the garden

1960, In My Garden, by beloved picture book author Charlotte Zolotow,
has been freshly reimagined by acclaimed author/illustrator Philip Stead
as an homage to nature, friendship, and the passage of time.
