Reviews
Publishers Weekly
“Creating and caring for a garden serves as an apt metaphor for self-care in this sensitive story from the father-daughter team of Lasser and Foster-Lasser. . . . Crinkly, textured papers bring pleasing warmth to Lyles’s mixed-media collages, creating an atmosphere of positivity to match the girl’s confident attitude.”—Publishers Weekly
