This is the latest read-aloud in my room. In choosing it I knew I would have to edit some material as I read. The characters speak honestly about drugs and pregnancy, which is great, but not altogether appropriate for ten year olds. The story is about the creation of a community garden in Cleveland. Each chapter is told by a different character who has been (or is in the process of being)changed by the garden. The story is told simply and without preaching its message. By caring for living things people become more alive. The book also does a great job of showing how people can come together as a community. I hope this inspires my class to action. There is a garden next to my room that needs a little care and after testing my class will need a project.
