The Curious Gardener | 
“The garden was especially curious about old, forgotten things.“
I would use this book to discuss taking care of the Earth.
pickPicture book published in 2009
The illustrations in this book are beautifully done, flowing well with the story. What stood out to me most was how the sizes of the pictures changed throughout the story. At the beginning, the boy was much larger than the garden he was working on but as the story developed the surrounding area became larger than him.
This morning it really feels like fall :( shoring myself up for the change of seasons with this lovely, chatty book
