Report copyright infringementby Deborah Underwood (Author), Jax Chow (Illustrator)On a street that covets big, showy gardens, Andrew sets out to grow his own tiny garden in this picture book about slowing down, appreciating the little things, and staying true to yourself. From bestselling, award-winning author Deborah Underwood and debut illustrator Jax Chow Andrew loves plants, but he's overwhelmed by the fancy plots in his neighborhood--too big, too tall, too much. With soil, seeds, water, and patience, Andrew's tiny garden blooms into a size his neighbors may not understand, but that's perfect for tiny leaves, tiny colors, and tiny visitors. Beloved author Deborah Underwood's ode to cultivating and caring for one small rectangle of the world, paired with Jax Chow's exquisite debut illustrations, is also about caring for oneself--and staying true to both, no matter what.Author BiographyDeborah Underwood is the author of numerous books for kids, including the Caldecott Honor book Outside In and the New York Times bestsellers The Quiet Book, The Loud Book, and Here Comes the Easter Cat.
