“White backgrounds and minimal text make this a strong option for
sharing with groups as well as with individuals...Sure to engage
listeners by calling for their active responses, this is a top
choice for collections serving the youngest readers and nature
lovers.” — School Library Journal
“Matheson brings her interactive approach…to a garden setting,
giving readers a chance to take part in the process. …Matheson sets
the action against broad, white backdrops with just a hint of soil
at the bottom edge, creating maximum contrasts as three flowers
grow and blossom.” — Publishers Weekly
“The simple text moves across both pages as the seeds grow into
beautiful flowers...The illustrations become more plentiful and
colorful as the flowers grow, mirroring the naturally occurring
miracles of real gardens.“ — Booklist
