I Can Grow It!: An Acorn Book

PreS-Gr 2–Princess Truly, a girl with brown skin and her hair in two sparkly puffs, and her friends, one with tan skin and curly black hair and the other with lighter skin and light brown pigtails, grow a garden, help a baby bird, and plant a magical tree in three short stories. The text uses simple rhymes for an engaging and smooth experience for beginning readers. Full-color art in spreads and vignettes help further illustrate the target text. The watercolor style is warm, bright, and inviting, with a bit of extra sparkle on the pages where Princess Truly uses her rainbow magic. “A Magic Tree,” the final story, inspires the most creative thinking: This will likely be readers’ favorite and is the perfect conclusion. Back matter includes a drawing tutorial and a journaling and art prompt related to the magical tree in the third story.
