Millie used to live in a place of vibrant color with a family garden for homegrown fruits and vegetables. Her new city home of gray and hard. But when she suggests a rooftop garden to her class, they embrace the concept and with many helpful hands they set to work. Teachers beware! If you read this to your students, they will probably insist in their own class garden! There are many great garden -themed books to support this one; here is my list.
