Review

Having immigrated to a large city Adam misses his green homeland. Everything is new and different in this new community yet Adam finds his happy place in a school garden. Not only does he find a way to add color to his surroundings but he makes friends while gardening.

When this book is read aloud it will bring smiles to a classroom. The gentle tone of the text and the friendly faces revealed in the illustrations combine in a successful package. Foreman has included children and adults of different colors and abilities making the book inclusive beyond the immigration theme.

Overall Book Score: good
