My Garden Waits

Gardening is an activity that can create memories and lifelong practices. This activity helps children develop life skills. Among these are the ability to work toward goals, work with and care for others, take pride in contributing to something beyond themselves, develop healthy eating habits, and positive self-images. My Garden Waits inspires and motivates children to become active participants in creating their gardens. The author illustrates the stages for preparing the garden and taking care of growing plants through colorful pictures and rhythmic text.
