Overview
The perfect book for everyone who loves nature On Meadowview Street celebrates the environment, ecosystems--and individual empowerment.
Caroline moves to a new suburban house. The yard, like all the surrounding yards, is plain, boring grass. But then she discovers a wildflower. Soon she's got her own little wildflower preserve, carefully protected from Dad's lawn mower. She adds a tree . . . a pond . . . birdhouses . . .she's brought a meadow to Meadowview Street
Time brings more little meadows, as the neighbors see how beautiful and alive a yard can be. An ideal choice for classroom reading and sharing and for inspiring the creation of green corridors--safe havens for migrating birds and butterflies--at home. For fans of Peter Brown's The Curious Garden, Joanna Gaines's We Are the Gardeners, and Christie Matheson's Tap the Magic Tree.
