Because this is the beginning of the gardening season in Maine, I wanted to share some enjoyable garden books. The ones that I found made it very difficult to choose the Picture Book of the Month. All of these picture books would have been perfect. I’ve decided on Flower Garden by Eve Bunting and illustrated by Kathryn Hewitt, bumping out my original choice.
