I first came across this picture book in the gift shop at Enchantment Resort in Sedona a few years ago (unfortunately during a day visit, which they currently do not permit due to the pandemic), but I did not buy it at the time; I um'd and aw'd and then put it back lol. Since then, I've come across it 3 or 4 times and each time marveled at the lovely illustrations and sweet rhymes... until finally, during a visit to the Desert Botanical Gardens two weeks ago (highly recommend y'all, especially during spring!), I saw it on the shelf and finally caved!! After all, the gardens are one of my favorite places in PHX, so being able to buy the book and support them as well was just perfect. I'm so happy to finally have this gem in my possession 🌸
