On Meadowview Street by Henry Cole

I really thought this was a great book to find. I love how the story is simple to read and the pictures are straightforward but it is a beautiful story of how a lawn is transformed through the purposeful and mindful actions of a thoughtful little girl. This has been very inspiring book for me in the transformation of our front yard into an edible garden space.

Honk, Honk, Goose! Canada Geese Start a Family by April Pulley Sayre

Despite my feelings about these birds I found this book a wonderful and engaging read and wonderful to read a loud. Having a birder as a spouse, I have found myself very drawn to Bird books and this was truly a delightful and informative find. I also adore the style of artwork throughout the book by Huy Voun Lee
