Our Shadow Garden

A girl and her grandfather plant a special garden to help her Nana feel better.  They design a garden with plants that are at their best at night.  As they work on the garden, they notice the variety of animals that are drawn to this special spot.  In the margins are facts about planning a garden, plants to use, and night animals.  The colorful and creative artwork is done by children of the Children’s Cancer Hospital at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Texas.  Additional gardening facts are in the back with a glossary, websites, and a paragraph about the author.  The individual artists who contributed work to the book are also in the back along with information about the Children’s Art Project.
