From the bestselling illustrator of Strictly No Elephants comes a sweetly personal and stunningly illustrated picture book about a young girl who grows closer to her grandfather by tending to the garden with him.

When I am as small
as a sprout,
Grandfather’s garden feels
big.

A young girl observes the bugs and blooms and the rich smell of the soil of her grandfather’s garden. Her grandfather hums as he waters his treasured plants. And when he gives the girl a flower of her own, caring for it teaches her to feel her grandfather’s love.

Even as time passes and her grandfather’s garden grows smaller and the girl grows up, she never forgets what she learned or loses her closeness with her nurturing grandfather.

When my daughter is as small
as a sprout, we visit Grandfather
together.

Inspired by the author-illustrator’s own family, this beautiful and personal story celebrates the love that binds families and makes us who we are.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tender Read
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2023
Love Makes a Garden Grow is a celebration of family, growing things and sharing your passion. It immediately called to mind my own grandmother and mother who loved to make things grow. I’ve continued that tradition, training as a Master Gardener, and sharing my excitement for gardening with my 9-year-old. This book is like a love letter to my family.

Author Taeeun Yoo’s gentle prose and tender illustrations create a warm and inviting read. It’s easy to tell this book/topic means a lot to her. It’s a heartfelt piece that will resonate with kids and families.

A little girl bonds with her grandfather over his garden in this heartfelt intergenerational story. As she grows, she helps tend to the garden more and more growing even closer with her grandfather. Though the two move through different stages of life, they stay comforted and connected through a shared love of flowers. Inspired by true events, this sweet story radiates love. With its eye-catching illustrations and tender story line, this is an excellent spring read aloud.
