Love Grows

“This book should not be missed by young green thumbs or by aunts and uncles with special nieces or nephews, although they may want to plan for a trip to the nursery.” —San Francisco Book Reviews

“The combination of accurately depicted plants with occasional silly rhymes and loving endearments from the aunt make for a delightful balance of education and fun. Whether read aloud to a child just becoming interested in plants or gifted from an aunt to a beloved nibling, this book brims with both warmth and information. A sweet introduction to houseplants.” —Kirkus Reviews

“A new picture book about the love between a niece and her aunt, told through a year’s worth of letters and gifts. A through line of coziness and continuity… Kids are going to ask for plants to tend to after this book.”—School Library Journal

“Spiro’s epistolary rhyming text makes for a delightful reading experience…Sure to make a budding botanist out of any young reader.” —Booklist

“Spiro and Cummins tenderly vine a green-thumb vibe through every scene, noting each plant’s name and a brief fact alongside accurate renderings.” —Publisher’s Weekly
