Celia Planted a Garden: The Story of Celia Thaxter and Her Island Garden
FROM SARAH:
A book by Gary D. Schmidt, Phyllis Root, and Melissa Sweet? YES PLEASE. I loved this beautiful picture book biography. Perfect for fans of Miss Rumphius.
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
Celia Thaxter grew up on a desolate island off the coast of Maine, where her father worked as lighthouse keeper. This picture book biography tells the true story of when Celia’s family moved to nearby Appledore Island, where her father built a large hotel, and Celia planted a bigger, ever-growing garden with nearly sixty types of flowers, from asters to wisteria.
