The Winning Garden by Leann Smith is a beautiful story about the value of setting goals and working hard.



The main character, Willa, wants to compete in the Winning Garden contest.  Every year only adults have competed!  With help from Aunt Mille, flower seed packets from Professor Rosewood, and Mrs. Goodwin's seed  packets and vegetable starts Willa and her friends plant and tend a garden.  When judging day arrives, Aunt Millie encourages the children to have faith in their garden.  The beauty of a garden is much more than flowers or vegetables!

This wonderful book has beautiful pastel illustrations, a fun lop-eared bunny named Lulu, and a ladybug hidden on almost every page.  It is a joy to read!

There are also three seed packets included to start you on planting your own garden

Have Fun and Enjoy!
