Growing Greens, Growing Me: A Magical Garden Story About Patience, Resilience, and Growing Together

What if the plants in your garden could teach you how to grow, too?

In Growing Greens, Growing Me, a young girl can’t wait for her sprouts to grow. With the help of her friend Sam—and some very wise vegetables—she discovers that growing a garden is also about growing herself.

The magical broccoli, peas, spinach, and zucchini show her four powerful lessons:

• Patience – good things take time.
• Resilience – even when things go wrong, you can start again.
• Asking for Help – sometimes you need a hand to stand tall.
• Enjoying the Mess – growth isn’t always neat, but it can be fun.

By summer, her garden is full—and so is her heart.

Perfect for children ages 4–8, this heartwarming picture book blends storytelling with life lessons, helping kids understand the value of patience, persistence, teamwork, and joy. With vibrant illustrations and playful characters, Growing Greens, Growing Me will inspire young readers to bloom right where they are planted.

Includes bonus activity pages for children to draw, reflect, and even grow their own plant at home!

If your child enjoys magical stories with a positive message—like The Invisible String or The Day You Begin—this book will be a treasured addition to your library.
