Illustrator Stephanie Sipp & writer Banta Whitner collaborate for a third color-to-learn book for kids and adults to enjoy together.

In this book, we invite you to connect with kids in a hands-on way, and in so doing, to plant seeds of hope for the future.  Gardening with kids fosters their active engagement - with you, with the plants your grow together, with the natural world.

Whether your garden is a few pots on the porch, a community plot, or your own backyard, when you partner with kids in the planting and tending, the harvest will yield far more than vegetables and flowers.  There are practical perks to gardening with kids:  they eat more fresh fruits and veggies, they spen time outdoors away from screens, they gain self confidence, learn where their food comes from, and experience the cycles of nature.

Each of the 16 garden plants includes a full page illustration for coloring, history of the plant, ways to use it, and a second smaller image for coloring.
