My cart is empty
By Robin Wimbiscus
Its late summer and the family garden is overflowing with all kinds of flowers and vegetables. Nicole and her mother have painstakingly labeled each of the items so the children can read the tags and easily identify just what the family needs. Suddenly its middaytime to eat!and one of her mothers favorite possessions is missing. Eager to help, Nicole agrees to search while her mother prepares their lunch. This lushly illustrated alphabetical excursion follows Nicole through the garden on her quest to find the special item. As she traipses past the long vines of the acorn squash to the deep-purple eggplant, trumpet-shaped morning glories, crimson radishes, and marbled-green watermelons with sweet pink juices inside, Nicole becomes enraptured with the gardens hidden treasures and discovers that what shes searching for is closer than she thinks. Robin Wimbiscus is a high school art teacher and freelance illustrator whose work has appeared in Chelsea Green Publishing and Northern Woodlands books as well as in Organic Gardner magazine and Mother Earth News.
