The Good Garden: How One Family Went from Hunger to Having Enough

32 pp. | Kids Can | September, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-1-55453-488-3 $18.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Sylvie Daigneault. In Honduras, when María Luz's father goes in search of work, he leaves her in charge of the floundering family farm. A new teacher gets María Luz to try some techniques that revive the garden, which in turn inspires other villagers. The well-meaning text is wordy. Each spread contains a full-page colored-pencil illustration, sometimes with surreal elements. Glos.
