The Garden of Small Beginnings by Abbi Waxman

5.0

This book is full of heart. I couldn’t put it down. I love the family relationships, the gardening instructions at the start of each chapter, the humor, and the sense of community. When I first saw the instructions at the start of each chapter, I inwardly groaned and thought I’d skip these parts but I’m glad I didn’t because 1) they are funny; 2) gardening is hard; and 3) I would read a whole book about gardening if this author wrote it. The kids were real and hilarious and I envy Lillian’s relationship with Rachel.
