Aunt Mary's Rose by Douglas Wood

A best-selling author and illustrator team up to cultivate a heartwarming, true story of a family linked through time by the tending of a beloved rosebush. 

Aunt Mary has a very special rosebush in her garden. She says a little bit of Douglas can be found inside it. And she tells him how the rosebush has a little bit of Douglas's daddy in it as well. And, of course, a little bit of Aunt Mary. Douglas Wood's tender memoir is complemented by LeUyen Pham's charming and engaging illustrations. Together they show how caring for a treasured rosebush provides a connection between generations, and an enduring expression of attentiveness and familial love.

Douglas Wood is the author of several novels, including Old Turtle, Grandad's Prayers of the Earth, Paddle Whispers (Minnesota, 2004), and Deep Forests, Wild Waters (Minnesota, 2017). The American Booksellers Book of the Year Award, The Christopher Medal, and the Minnesota Association for Environmental Education's Lifetime Achievement Award have all been bestowed upon him.
