Planted with Love: Growing into a Family
Illustrated by: Adriana Predoi
Published by: WaterBrook
A heartfelt picture book about one child's experience in foster care that reminds all kids that—just like a garden—love from the right source will help them bloom.
Lamar has lived in seven homes in three years and has never stayed anywhere long enough to put down roots. As he watches his new foster mom tend to her garden each day, he soon joins her with cautious curiosity. Together, they plant, they weed, they water . . . until one day Lamar's anger and feelings of uncertainty lead him to destroy the garden.
But through his foster mother's love and care, Lamar discovers that just like her garden, he is wanted, he is loved, he has been planted, and he will bloom.
This event is in correlation to the Berkeley Public Library Author talk featuring Camille T. Dungy discussing her title Soil: The Story of a Black Mother's Garden.
