My Busy Green Garden

by Terry Pierce

First Time in Paperback! In this lyrical evocation of a garden, newly arrived bugs, bees, and birds appear with each turned page, while a chrysalis changes unnoticed until, on the last page, a butterfly emerges and flies away across the garden’s well-tended borders. Back-of-book notes about the natural histories of the garden’s denizens complete this portrait of backyard nature, which is also a meditation on the rewards of paying attention. A chipmunk hides on every page to divert and engage young readers.
