Welcome the outdoors inside for story time with this classic tale of a garden changing through the seasons. A young girl and her older companion watch birds, fly a kite, plant flowers, and play in the snow, watching flowers bloom and leaves fall as the year passes. This quiet story celebrates the simple joys found close to home, and the importance of sharing those experiences with the ones you love. A perfect story time pick for any season, In My Garden explores the natural marvels of the world around us and encourages young readers to think about what they love best throughout the year. Written by picture book master Charlotte Zolotow and originally published in 1960, this elegant reimagining of In My Garden features all-new illustrations by accomplished author-illustrator Philip Stead. His delicate illustrations and gentle, colorful palette bring new life and meaning to this classic tale-- a beautiful tribute to the experience of childhood, and a thank you to a master storyteller.

In My Garden was first published in 1960. This is a new edition with completely new illustrations. Here's a little sample:
“In the summer what I love most to do is have
lunch under the pear tree.
Of course there are other things I love in
the summer—listening to the birds singing
in the trees, lying in the tall grass, watching
the butterflies, and swimming in the cool stream.
But in the summer what I love most to do
is to have lunch under the pear tree.”
