About This Book

Based on the true story of Harlem Grown, this picture book follows a group of students in New York City who help transform an empty, trash-filled lot into a thriving community garden. With the help of a dedicated volunteer, the children discover the joy of growing their own food and the power of working together to change their neighborhood.
