(3) K-3 When nature-loving Mae moves to the city, she struggles to find an urban replacement for the garden she's left behind. Eventually a bird leads her to a shop bursting with vibrant plants, which inspires Mae to plant a small sprout. A familiar story is bolstered by lyrical storytelling and delicate watercolor illustrations contrasting the drab, gray city with the verdant plant store--and, eventually, Mae's apartment-sized garden.
