Celebrations during Gardening for Wildlife Month usually involve creating wildlife gardens that highlight local plants. Today’s book recommendation is about an activist who was inspired by what gardens can do for people:
This non-fiction biography is about an activist who I had never heard of before reading this book. Grace Lee Boggs fought for equal civil, labor, women’s and environmental rights and accomplished a lot in her 100 years of life. This book highlights many of her accomplishments but focuses on her dream to build “gardens of hope”—places where people could “relate to the earth…” and heal “wounds of past discrimination.” Songju Ma Daemicke’s text is engaging, informative, and inspiring. Lin’s soft color palette of greens, blues, yellows, and oranges are the perfect choice to illustrate a garden-focused story. This book will be an excellent choice for your school or home library!

Here’s a sweet sibling story to celebrate the day:
This sweet book is about two sisters who sometimes get along, and sometimes don’t. When an argument leads to a shouting, stomping fight, they spend some time apart which is enough for them to reunite and work together to create a story. And I’m not even giving away surprise ending! Carrie Finison’s expert rhyme paired with Bea Jackson’s cheerful illustrations are the perfect match for this heartfelt picture book. Recommended for sisters of all ages!
