What the Garden Tells Me invites readers to see the beauty and connections between plants and ourselves. The tone is uplifting and evokes a sense of wonder for nature. The illustrations are bright and full of life. The text complexity is perfect for preschool through lower elementary and the message appeals to older audiences as well. This little girl's love for plants may inspire others to stop and look at what is growing around us and seek the parallels to their own lives. Overall, the book is thought-provoking as it encourages us all to slow down and enjoy the beauty around us and in ourselves.
