A garden arranged in rainbow colors

A backyard garden becomes a way to explore color and the stages of growing. The story traces a mother and daughter’s work planting bulbs, seeds, and seedlings, then tending them as they develop into flowers. Lois Ehlert’s textured cut-paper collages give the garden its vivid visual detail, while brief text keeps attention on the plants and their changing colors. Gardening and color recognition meet here in a simple, concrete introduction to observing the natural world.
