Lala's Words: A Story of Planting

"Lala is a bundle of energy. Whether racing around the neighborhood or tumbling on the sofa, she never seems to slow down. That is, until she stops to whisper words of encouragement to what most would observe as short green weeds growing in dirt and concrete. But Lala sees things differently and recognizes this as a glorious place of her own. Author-illustrator Gracey Zhang’s exuberant debut captures the magic of love and kindness as Lala’s Words transforms a neighborhood. Using a palette of gray, green and yellow, the expressive art jumps off the page and into your heart. (For ages 4 to 8)"
