Annie B, Reviewer
Bo and the Community Garden is a charming and engaging story for middle grade readers by Elliott Smith in a series of books about Bo and his friends. Due out 1st Jan 2023 from Lerner Publications, it's 32 pages and will be available in library binding and paperback formats.
Representation is so important for everyone, but especially kids. This series of books, about a boy and his friends, shows the everyday life of Bo, who lives with his grandfather (Pop-Pop). Pop-Pop owns a barber shop and he and Bo live above the shop. As Bo goes about his daily business, readers see a kind, intelligent, and enthusiastic kid. In this installment, Bo's class is allowed to decide what they want to plant in the class areas of the school community garden. They have to decide amongst themselves, resolve their differences, and make plans what to do with their vegetable harvest.
Despite being only 32 pages, there are really good takeaway lessons about friendship, planning, gardening (obviously), kindness, and empathy. The art, by Subi Bosa is colorful and full of small details which invite readers to take a closer look.
Five stars. This would be an excellent choice for public or school library acquisition, for home use, and for activity/scouting groups, as well as for school and community gardens.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
