Reviews

A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of 2023

A 2023 Northern Lights Book Awards Winner

"Smetana's picture book compares feelings of love to different elements of a garden... The lines are brief but powerful and sweet, concluding with an image of two hands with different brown skin tones on either side of a bouquet, incorporating all the flowers featured in the book. However, Smetana's illustrations are truly the stars of this work... The book ends with a glossary, naming various plants and animals in the book and encouraging young readers to go back and look for them all-something that they'll surely delight in doing again and again. Endearing, engaging text pairs well with gorgeously executed illustrations for a joyful read." -Kirkus Reviews, (starred review)
