My Nana's Garden by Dawn Casey illustrated by Jessica Courtney-Tickle

 The illustrations in this book are stunning. I like them more than the words!

A girl relates her days and seasons with her Nana in her Nana's garden. Each season possesses its unique joys to relish. Through the illustrations, the reader notices the grandmother aging and eventually can infer her death. She "lives on" through her garden as her granddaughter matures and gives birth to a daughter of her own.

Although sad, this book leaves the reader hopeful.

-Borrowed from the library.
