--Youth Services Book Review "I am totally crushing hard on this upcoming release and I'm so excited to share it! It is a hefty, nonfiction book that is packed with fascinating information about plants and I've really enjoyed the tidbits I have already learned from it. Plus, the bold and bright design is stunning and the cover is even textured (a small detail, but one that always makes my heart skip a beat). This one is also perfect for Spring!"
