In Grandmother's garden, bees sip nectar, birds nest in seclusion, and ladybugs picnic. But how do bees create honey, how do birds choose a nesting spot, how do ladybugs find aphids, and how in the world did the ripe apples on Grandmother's apple tree simply vanish? Explore the wonders of the natural world with an assortment of woodland creatures as they revel in the magic, mystery, and marvelous morsels of Grandmother's garden, written especially for advanced readers ages six through eight.

This heartwarming tale demonstrates the resounding effect grandparents have on grandchildren as traditions live on from generation to generation. The weaving together of expository and narrative texts promotes creative storytelling with facts about the natural world, but some things in nature will always remain a mystery. Hand-drawn and colored illustrations encourage children to create their own works of art as they explore nature in their own backyards.

With included recipe cards, kids can create Grandmother's garden recipes in their own kitchens. Journal pages encourage kids to become nature writers and artists as they learn to observe nature, just like Grandmother.

If you enjoy classic stories by Beatrix Potter, E.B. White, and Chris Van Allsburg, you'll appreciate the heartwarming tale waiting inside this storybook.

The author is an instructor of English Language Arts dedicated to the promotion of literacy through reading and discussion, and she is a supporter of environmental sustainability dedicated to preserving habitats that benefit native species. Residents of the Chesapeake Bay region, Lori and her husband continue to explore the bay's marvelous tributaries as they've done for a quarter century in their small boat Salad Days. Readers will see elements of regional flora and fauna in Lori's works. In addition to narrative and expository writing, the author enjoys gardening, photography, drawing, music, and culinary arts.

Other works by the author include Let's Play Outside, a collection of eight children's stories for ages four through eight; Coloring Book of the Chesapeake Bay; Chesapeake Bay Journey, Islands of History and Folklore; and A Gardener's Birdwatching Journal of the MidAtlantic.
