REVIEW: HAPPY PLANT A FLOWER DAY!

Imagine—inside a tiny seed contains the possibility of a beautiful flower. And inside a beautiful flower contains tiny seeds that can once again grow into more flowers. Imagine! That’s what today’s picture book is all about:

​TITLE: IN THE PALM OF MY HAND
AUTHOR: Jennifer Raudenbush
ILLUSTRATORS: Isabella Conti
PUBLISHER: Running Press Kids/2023
OPENING LINES: 
 
In the palm of my hand, I hold an acorn, small and round.
Within it grows a forest.
And within that forest towers an oak tree, tall and grand.

This lovely picture book follows a child as they wander through nature and imagine the possibilities in the things they hold in the palm of their hand—a forest in an acorn and sandcastles in a grain of sand. Raudenbush’s comforting, lyrical text combined with Conti’s dreamy illustrations make this the perfect book to read to a child snuggled on your lap. Definitely add this one to your bookshelf!
