My Life in Plants: Flowers I've Loved, Herbs I've Grown, and Houseplants I've Killed on the Way to Finding Myself by Katie Vaz
4.0
I really thought the art in My Life in Plants was very adorable. I am a big lover of plants, as well as nonfiction shorts, so I thought this book blended to the two quite nicely. I did find that I wanted a bit more of each. I don't know if that's a bad thing, though. You want to be left wanting more from nonfiction stories - that is, if the author is still alive. Then you are interested in the rest of their story.
I also liked the fact that the illustrations felt more light hearted. When there are tough topics that blend with more mundane ones, it's easy to go to the darker side. This was cutesy and sweet on every page, and at this time in 2020, we need that.
I have recently joined plant groups and I plan to post this on my planstagram page (Plants.That.Read) as well because I think it helps people understand how plants can affect your life. I think it has something to do with the healing aspect, the growth and cycle of life aspect, to plants. Either way, care for plants and heal your soul!
If I could give this my own rating I would give it a 3.5! Thank you for your stories Katie Vaz.
