From the bestselling illustrator of Strictly No Elephants comes a
sweetly personal and stunningly illustrated picture book about a
young girl who grows closer to her grandfather by tending to the
garden with him. When I am as small as a sprout, Grandfather's
garden feels big. A young girl observes the bugs and blooms and the
rich smell of the soil of her grandfather's garden. Her grandfather
hums as he waters his treasured plants. And when he gives the girl
a flower of her own, caring for it teaches her to feel her
grandfather's love. Even as time passes and her grandfather's
garden grows smaller and the girl grows up, she never forgets what
she learned or loses her closeness with her nurturing grandfather.
When my daughter is as small as a sprout, we visit Grandfather
together. Inspired by the author-illustrator's own family, this
beautiful and personal story celebrates the love that binds
families and makes us who we are.

When stormy skies threaten, people stock up on supplies, bring in
their outside toys, and check the news for updates. And during the
storm, if the power goes out, they can play games and tell stories
by candlelight. But what do animals do? They watch and listen, look
for a cozy den or some other sheltered spot, and hunker down to
wait. After the storm, while the people are cleaning up their
yards, making repairs, and checking on the neighbours, the animals
emerge from their hiding places and shake off the rain. And
everyone is happy to be out in the sunshine again, grateful for
better weather and the company of friends.
