#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
In We Are the Gardeners, Joanna and the kids chronicle the adventures of starting their own family garden. From their failed endeavors, obstacles to overcome (bunnies that eat everything!), and all the knowledge they've gained along the way, the Gaines family shares how they learned to grow a happy, successful garden. As it turns out, trying something new isn't always easy, but the hardest work often yields the greatest reward. There are always new lessons to be learned in the garden!
You and your children can learn all about the Gaines family's story of becoming gardeners in Joanna's first children’s book—starting with the first little fern Chip bought for Jo. Over the years, the family's love for gardening blossomed into what is now a beautiful, bustling garden.
Julianna Swaney's illustrations bring the Gaines family garden to life with colorful, whimsical watercolors and invite you to enjoy the beauty of a thriving garden.
A stunningly illustrated book of extraordinary city maps, telling
the story of human civilisation throughout history. A gorgeous,
large-format gift hardback with a stunning neon cover, A History of
the World in 25 Cities features 25 beautifully illustrated city
maps from all over the world, from ancient history to the present
day. Co-authored by award-winning children's authors Tracey Turner
and Andrew Donkin in consultation with specialist curators at the
British Museum, readers can visit cities from every inhabited
continent on Earth, from the walled city of Jericho built over
10,000 years ago, to the modern-day metropolis of Tokyo, the
most-densely populated city in the world today. Featuring vibrant,
beautifully detailed artwork from Libby VanderPloeg, each carefully
researched map takes readers on a city tour at a unique moment in
time - from exploring Athens in ancient Greece during the birth of
democracy, to walking the beautiful lamplit streets of medieval
Benin, deep in the West African rainforest. Readers can even visit
China's long-lost capital city of Xianyang - a city for which no
original map exists, which was brought to life with support from
the British Museum's fantastic team of experts. Each map is
followed by two gorgeously illustrated pages of fascinating
information about what life was (or is) like for the inhabitants of
each city, including a bite-sized look at each city in numbers.
Packed with countless facts for curious readers to return to again
and again, this is a perfect gift for children who want to explore
history from around the world. Cities featured include Jericho,
Memphis, Athens, Xianyang, Rome, Constantinople, Baghdad, Jorvik,
Benin City, Tenochtitlan, Granada, Beijing, Venice, Delhi, Cuzco,
Amsterdam, Sydney, Paris, London, Bangkok, Saint Petersburg, New
York City, Berlin, San Francisco and Tokyo, plus an exploration of
Cities of Today and Cities of Tomorrow.
