In Our Garden

<b><b>From the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Be Kind</i> comes an uplifting classroom tale about students who create a vegetable garden on their school's rooftop.</b></b><br><br>Millie has recently moved to a new city, from a place more than an ocean away. More than anything she misses the garden where her family used to grow food. Then one day she has an idea—the school has a fine flat roof, perfect for a garden. Soon her teacher and classmates are on board, but it takes more than ideas to build a garden. It takes supplies and hard work; it takes a lot of learning; and it takes a whole school—a whole community—coming together to help. And of course, it also takes a lot of waiting. But as Millie's teacher Miss Mirales says, “Be patient. Good things take time.”<br><br>From building the beds and planting the seeds to the first glorious harvest, here's the story of a garden—and a girl—in bloom, and what it takes for a new place to finally feel like home. <b>From the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Be Kind</i> comes an uplifting classroom tale about students who create a vegetable garden on their school's rooftop.</b><br><br>Millie has recently moved to a new city, from a place more than an ocean away.
