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.
