Whimsical, hands-on, and thoroughly fun…

Contardo brings together the magic of storytelling and the joy of gardening in his latest charming picture book. Macie is a little girl with a big love for vegetables.

Fun questions and playful activities along the way ignite curiosity, turning this story into an engaging, hands-on journey. The illustrations make each page feel alive with energy and personality, while adding to the charm. At its heart, this is a story about care, patience, and the beauty of nurturing something, whether it’s a plant, a friendship, or a dream.
