The Houseplant by Jeremy Ray

4.0

Has a houseplant ever made you cry? No, then meet George. George the fern is "rescued" by Barbara from a garden center, but he hates his new home and sets out to prove it. I love George and I love Barbara too. This is a heartfelt, emotional little story. There is a lot of feeling packed into these few pages and there is a great moral to this story as well. I've always had trouble keeping houseplants alive, but like Barbara, I have a few that I didn't give up on that are now thriving. I think that Jeremy probably just wrote this story so he could see photos of people's houseplants on bookstagram, but I'm glad he did write it. I will certainly look at my houseplants differently after reading this great little story.
