| Publisher Description: It's time for Finley's class to vote on a service-learning project, and Finley has a Fin-tastic plan. A class garden would beautify the school grounds, combat soggy cafeteria vegetables, and create a place to have class outside. The students get their hands dirty and work hard to build raised beds, prepare the soil, and plant a garden. Finley's group picks seeds that are supposed to sprout first. But after days of watering and waiting, Finley and her friends are starting to wonder if their seeds are duds. The friends try everything--even singing to the seeds to help them grow. Will they ever enjoy the fruits of their labor, or will all of their hard work be in vain? |
Contributor Bio(s): Secheret, Jessica: - Jessica was born on a spring day in 1978 in a small French town. When she was very young she had strange buddies that were always with her: felt pens, colored pencils, brushes and paint. After several years spent in various agencies of architecture, she decided to give up squares, rulers, and compasses and put her body, heart, and soul into what she always loved--putting her own imagination on paper. She's currently residing at her studio in Paris, drawing for magazines and children's books in France and abroad.Young, Jessica: - Jessica Young's award-winning picture book My Blue is Happy (2013) was included on the 2014 Bank Street College of Education's Best Books of the Year for Children and Young Adults list and the Texas Library Association's 2014 "2 x 2 Reading List," and was chosen to represent Tennessee on the Library of Congress/Center for the Book's 2013 "52 Great Reads" list.
