Pacific Northwest horticulturist Riz Reyes worked with illustrator Sara Boccaccini Meadows for his debut children’s book, Grow, new this year from Magic Cat Publishing. This vibrant “family guide to plants and how to grow them” introduces the botanical relatives and superpowers of familiar plants and fungi. Each short section features a different familiar plant (including mint, daffodils, pineapple, carrots, tea, aloe, maple and eight more), with informative text and colorful images detailing the plant’s life cycle, its history with people, and a related hands-on project. This book is uniquely useful and completely enchanting!
