Whether it’s a plot in the community garden, magical topiaries in the neighborhood or even the imaginary gardens we share with family, growing and tending plants together unites us all. The Carle Bookshop booksellers share their recommendations for picture books that celebrate growing and planting. 

The Carle Bookshop reviews picture books that feature weaving. Two picture book biographies and one out of print favorite, these books are all lyrical, sumptuous homages to the craft of weaving, celebrating an often overlooked craft that is both artistic and practical. The bookshop staff also shares some of their own weaving projects!
