(4) K-3 Caroline notices a wildflower growing on her family's sterile suburban lawn. She persuades her father not to mow it, and soon she has her own miniature nature preserve. Adding trees and a pond inspires the neighbors to join in. While the environmental message is none too subtle, the clean acrylic illustrations effectively show the neighborhood's flowering, as it goes from uniform to unique.
