Patchwork Garden / Pedacitos de huerto (Bilingual, English/Spanish)

Tonia loves to listen to her Abuela's stories about when she was a young girl. When her grandmother remembers planting a vegetable garden "on my own little square patch of land," Tonia wishes she too could have her very own garden. Their apartment building is surrounded by cement, but Abuela reminds her that it only takes a small patch of land to grow tomatoes or squash and even carrots. And soon, they have a plan!

With brightly hued illustrations that depict a cityscape full of multiple generations working towards a common goal, children will be inspired to plant--and perhaps even eat!--their own vegetables after reading this charming bilingual picture book.
