Grow
unCovered review by Beth Bliss, Manager, ACLS

It’s a wonderful coincidence that this beautiful book is illustrated by someone named “Meadows,” given its delightful examples of various vegetables, fruits, and other plants. GROW by Riz Reyes, is a large-format picture book that introduces its readers to 15 plant families, ranging from mints to mushrooms to apples, and beyond.
Kids and their grownups can enjoy this book together, delving
into how each plant family has its own tastes, textures, and visual delights.
There is a perfect balance in this book of information and art – a
guaranteed hit for families looking to learn about plant varieties,
pollination, culinary inspiration – and what to plant for the coming gardening
season.
