Was wächst denn da?

A picture book for little gardeners and for those who want to become one. Sophie only knows vegetables from the supermarket. But this year, she spends a lot of time at her grandparents' house. They have a large garden where potatoes and corn, tomatoes, peas, peppers, and cucumbers grow. Sophie learns what needs to be done before harvesting: she sows radish seeds and plants small lettuce, she gets to mulch and water, and she observes ladybugs and earthworms. She discovers why bees are so important and watches the pumpkins grow until the time comes to prepare the garden for winter. This picture book by a European grande dame of illustration is filled with loving details and subtly inspires a desire to work in the garden.
