While on a walk with his older sister, a boy learns all about the plants they see, making him realize how vast the universe is and how much there is to learn, which he will cultivate in his own way. Illustrations. - Perseus Publishing
From Boston GlobeâHorn Book Award winner Jack Wong, a story of a boy who discovers that the more he learns, the more there is to know!
On their neighborhood walks together, a boy learns from his older sister all about the plants they see â magnolias that smell like lemon cake, creeping weeds that used to be planted for decoration, and even how dandelion greens can be eaten with spaghetti! But what makes a plant a flower, vegetable or weed, anyway? How can his sister tell, and how does she know so much?
The boyâs head spins as he realizes how vast the universe is and how much there is to learn ⦠until he resolves to let his knowledge grow in its own way and time, just like the mysterious plants he has decided to nurture in the garden.
Award-winning creator Jack Wong brings us a delightful, nuanced story about cultivating patience and letting knowledge grow.
