Nina loves spending time in her family’s garden, and so does her dog, Nube. They delight in all the wonders found growing there and all the spectacular colours—roja, naranja, verde, amarillo, morado. But mostly they just love to play, as it’s the perfect place for a game of hide-and-seek with its tall corn and enormous leafy veggies. It’s also a place to have the best al fresco meals with Nina’s loving extended family. Exuberant text sprinkled with Spanish and vivid, energetic art that captures the garden in all its glory make this the perfect book for celebrating the bounty of our gardens and the joy of spending a day there, learning, laughing, and lending a helping hand!

Dear Mom,Keep this book forever to remember all the reasons why I love you. Every page has a heartwarming, imaginative (and sometimes cheeky!) prompt—a sentence to finish or an illustration to complete—to help kids capture everything they know and love about their parent, from their favorite things to do together to what kind of pizza topping they would be. A sheet of illustrated stickers gives kids even more ways to customize the work! Each book starts with a letter to parent from child, and then the fun begins, from:Your favorite animal is ______. You are terrified of ______! To:I wrote a story about you. Want to read it together? To:Look! I drew a picture of us on an intergalactic space adventure! And finally:This is us, having the greatest adventure ever. I love you, Mom!

As AstroKid, he ships the Space Invader off to Mars, battles her on Pluto, and chases her through asteroid showers—whatever it takes!
