My Baba's Garden

The bond between a child and his grandmother grows as they tend her garden together.<BR><BR>A young boy spends his mornings with his beloved Baba, his grandmother. She doesn't speak much English, but they connect through gestures, gardening, eating, and walking to school together. Marked by memories of wartime scarcity, Baba cherishes food, and the boy learns to do the same. Eventually, Baba needs to move in with the boy and his parents, and he has the chance to care for her as she’s always cared for him. <BR><BR>Inspired by memories from poet Jordan Scott’s childhood, with beautiful, dreamlike illustrations by Hans Christian Andersen Award-winning illustrator Sydney Smith, My Baba’s Garden is a deeply personal story that evokes universal emotions. Like Scott and Smith’s previous collaboration I Talk Like a River, winner of the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award, My Baba’s Garden lends wistful appreciation to cherished time with family.<BR><BR> <BR>A Charlotte Zolotow Honor Book<BR>A New York Public Library Best Book of the Year <BR>A Kirkus Reviews Best Picture Book of the Year<BR>A School Library Journal Best Book of the Year<BR>A Horn Book Fanfare Book<BR>A Booklist Editors’ Choice<BR>A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection<BR>An Evanston Public Library Great Book for Kids
