Perfect for a plant lover parent or grandparent!
What a great book for a plant lover to read to a child! Itâs never too early to share your love of plants. We purchased this as a gift to a friend who is a new grandfather and spends many hours working with all his plants outside as well as inside his home. It is beautifully illustrated and well written so children can begin to love and understand plants beginning as a baby.
