SOLVED. Children's book. Girl learns about composting. Read around 2010-2012.

I read this book sometime from 2010 to 2012 and I think it had come out recently when i read it. I don't remember much except that the MC was a girl, that it was her aunt or grandmother who taught her how to compost,and that the aunt/grandmother brought a compost bin to the MC's school cafeteria where when the kids finished eating they would put some of there leftovers in the compost bin for the worms. Also, there was a bird and I think that it was an owl. I do not really remember the cover except that I think it had a yellow or orange border and it featured an illustration of the MC, I think holding an owl. I remember really liking the book since I read it three times in two days.

A guess - Last-But-Not-Least Lola Going Green by Christine Pakkala?

Louie, what's the location - country, region, big city/small town?

Can you tell us more about the girl - her age, favorite school subjects, siblings & friends, etc.?

[Louie]

Sorry, that's not it. I don't remember much more than what I already mentioned. I believe it took place in the U.S. and I think that she might have had orange/red hair but, I am not certain.

Maybe, Marty McGuire Digs Worms! ? There is one in the "Marty McGuire" series with a bird on the cover

Was this part of a series?

I think it might be Marty McGuire Digs Worms! Tab thank you for suggesting it. I will find a copy to read and then I'll write here if it's the right book or not.
