On a street that covets big, showy gardens, Andrew sets out to grow his own tiny garden in this picture book about slowing down, appreciating the little things, and staying true to yourself. From bestselling, award-winning author Deborah Underwood and debut illustrator Jax Chow
Andrew loves plants, but he’s overwhelmed by the fancy plots in his neighborhood—too big, too tall, too much.
With soil, seeds, water, and patience, Andrew’s tiny garden blooms into a size his neighbors may not understand, but that’s perfect for tiny leaves, tiny colors, and tiny visitors.
Beloved author Deborah Underwood’s ode to cultivating and caring for one small rectangle of the world, paired with Jax Chow’s exquisite debut illustrations, is also about caring for oneself—and staying true to both, no matter what.

Deborah Underwood is the author of numerous books for kids, including the Caldecott Honor book Outside In and the New York Times bestsellers The Quiet Book, The Loud Book, and Here Comes the Easter Cat. She lives in Northern California with her feline muse, Bella. Jax Chow is inspired by her experiences in different corners of the country. In Jacksonville, Florida, she grew up surrounded by an amazing extended family of cousins and friends. Next she fell in love with the beautiful landscape of New England, where she received a BA in fine arts at Amherst College. She earned a master’s degree in Chinese art history at the University of Washington, built a career as a fashion designer in New York City and has now found her forever home and vocation in Portland, Oregon, as a children’s book illustrator. When not painting and drawing with gouache, watercolor, crayons and pencils, her favorite place to be is in a big forest with her little family.
