Review:

Jilly and her grandfather live in a small colorful village surrounded by a stone wall. Inside the wall the community grows a beautiful garden. They work on it together all year round. Outside of the wall is a wild garden where Jilly and her grandfather see wildlife and gather nuts and greens for a meal. When the village decides to expand the garden by knocking down the wall, Jilly, and her grandfather share with them the wild garden. What do you think will happen next? 

This beautifully illustrated book shows how wonderful community gardening is and what nature can bring for animals and people to share. Easy to read sentence structure along with recognizable illustrations of animals and plants, this book is perfect for kids who want to know about the natural world.
