On a street that covets big, showy gardens, Andrew sets out to grow his own tiny garden in this picture book about slowing down, appreciating the little things, and staying true to yourself. From bestselling, award-winning author Deborah Underwood and debut illustrator Jax Chow
Andrew loves plants, but he’s overwhelmed by the fancy plots in his neighborhood—too big, too tall, too much.
With soil, seeds, water, and patience, Andrew’s tiny garden blooms into a size his neighbors may not understand, but that’s perfect for tiny leaves, tiny colors, and tiny visitors.
Beloved author Deborah Underwood’s ode to cultivating and caring for one small rectangle of the world, paired with Jax Chow’s exquisite debut illustrations, is also about caring for oneself—and staying true to both, no matter what.

Praise for Tiny Garden
***STARRED REVIEW***"Underwood's sweet story valorizes "little things" and the true gardener's intoxication with the earth. Chow's illustrations are brilliant...A tiny delight that celebrates patience, Zen-like focus, and appreciation for the small things."
Kirkus Review
***STARRED REVIEW***"This soft story celebrates quiet, gentle kiddos, and Andrew gorgeously encapsulates what it looks like to be soft-spoken yet steadfastly oneself."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
Underwood's meditation on nature, patient observation, and steadfast belief in yourself is well matched by Chow's delicate illustrations...This quiet, reflective book celebrates following your own path
Horn Book Magazine
Poetic line breaks slow the narrative, creating a thoughtful and reflective tone throughout. Playful mixedmedia illustrations capture Andrew's love for nature, with pages that burst with color, energy, and life...simple yet beautiful story that celebrates nature and the importance of appreciating life's small wonders.
