Home Lovely

Home Lovely by Lynne Rae Perkins is a story about a mother and daughter who have to move into a less than positive situation according to the daughter, but in all the negative that is the situation, the main character, Tiffany, makes the situation positive by planting plants and putting her energy into growing them. The plants end up being a vegetable garden and involves a very nice mailman who teaches Tiffany about plants. This book could be easily incorporated into a lesson about planting and change. I like how large the illustrations are. Whatever is being talked about on the page is shown very well visually.
