Questions about this book

Can the story teach my child to be gentle with plants and bugs?

Yes, Care for Nature is one of the ten lessons you can choose for the book. The story can focus on how treating plants and little garden creatures with kindness helps the whole garden grow.

We live in an apartment and only grow herbs in pots, will this still make sense?

You can tell us in the 'anything special' field that your child gardens on a balcony or a windowsill. The story can be written around your actual home environment rather than a big backyard.
