When Maggie's treasure collection grows too big to manage, she
finds a creative solution. Maggie finds treasure wherever she goes.
Whether it's a button, a feather or a shiny stone, she picks it up
and takes it home. At first the neighbors and city workers are
grateful to Maggie for cleaning up; the mayor even gives her an
award. But over time Maggie's collection grows bigger and bigger,
until it spills out of her house and garden in an unsightly mess.
Her parents tell her "Enough treasure!" and eventually even Maggie
realizes that something must be done. Finally, inspired by a bird
outside her window, she finds a way to share her treasure that
enchants and transforms the entire neighborhood. Jon-Erik Lappano
and Kellen Hatanaka, winners of the Governor General's Literary
Award for Tokyo Digs a Garden, have created a stunning picture book
about a child who turns her passion for collecting into a pleasure
for her community. Correlates to the Common Core State Standards in
English Language Arts: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.2 Retell stories,
including key details, and demonstrate understanding of their
central message or lesson.

Winner of the 2016 Governor General's Literary Award for Young
People's Literature — Illustrated Books Tokyo lives in a small
house between giant buildings with his family and his cat, Kevin.
For years, highways and skyscrapers have been built up around the
family’s house where once there were hills and trees. Will they
ever experience the natural world again? One day, an old woman
offers Tokyo seeds, telling him they will grow into whatever he
wishes. Tokyo and his grandfather are astonished when the seeds
grow into a forest so lush that it takes over the entire city
overnight. Soon the whole city has gone wild, with animals roaming
where cars once drove. But is this a problem to be surmounted, or a
new way of living to be embraced? With Tokyo Digs a Garden,
Jon-Erik Lappano and Kellen Hatanaka have created a thoughtful and
inspiring fable of environmentalism and imagination. Correlates to
