Grandpa Green by Lane Smith

Grandpa Green by Lane Smith

Grandpa Green wasn't always a gardener. He was a boy who lived on a farm and a child who had chickenpox. He was a soldier, a husband and, most of all, an artist. Follow his grandson through a garden where memories are handed down through the shapes of topiary trees and imagination recreates things forgotten. GRANDPA GREEN opens the door to a garden of wonder which parents and grandparents will be able to share with children for generations to come.

An unassuming little masterpiece. . the book's power lies in its rich, allusive artistry * The New York Times *
Visually intriguing and emotionally resonant, this is a book to pore over and talk about * School Library Journal *
