Content
The book's short story revolves around planting and cultivating of a flower garden by a mother and her child.
Reception
Tina L. Burke who reviewed the book for Childhood Education noted that positively reviewed the book, commenting on "deft use of colors and composition", attention-drawing "color grouping of flowers", as well as educational identification of seeds, bulbs, sprouts and blossoms.
Lillian Heil writing for the Children's Book and Media Review highlighted Ehlert's "ability to distill the essence of each flower in a simplified shape" visible in this work. Heil noted that this is common in Ehlert's works, as "her large, simplified shapes and electric colors" make it easy to recognize her books.
