    Mrs Springs Garden: Book Cover

    Mrs. Spring’s Garden

    Written by Carole P. Roman

    Illustrated by Leen Roslan

    Ages 4+ | 46 Pages

    Publisher: Chelshire | ISBN-13: 9781950080090

    What to Expect: Conflict, teamwork, nature, sustainability

    Already beloved for her popular joke books and educational series, Carole P. Roman’s latest picture book encourages readers to think about teamwork, conflict resolution, and embracing differences.

    The sun is shining on Mrs. Spring’s Garden and the flowers are beautiful—even so, not everyone is happy. Earthworm and snail are arguing—each thinks his job in the garden is more important than the other garden inhabitants. Bisby and Busby the bees disagree—everyone knows the bees do the most important job, as they angrily explain to Butterfly. All of the insects are shouting at each other, and no work is getting done in the garden. Then, just when it seems that this garden-wide disagreement will never end, danger looms—the gardener with a can of pesticide! Can the insects learn to work together to save the garden and themselves?

    Through the metaphor of the garden and its engaging insect characters, the story demonstrates the idea that we are stronger and happier when we work together. Leen Roslan’s bright and colorful illustrations really complete the story, adding humorous detail and expression to the insects, from the Earthworm’s hard hat to the bees’ safety jackets and angry scowls. Simple sentences and vocabulary keep the text accessible for beginner readers, while sensory detail makes the story perfect for shared reading too.

    Mrs. Spring’s Garden is a sweet and simple way to teach young readers about gardens, nature, and interconnectedness.
