I wanted to share a new children’s book with you Michelle’s Garden: How the First Lady Planted Seeds of Change by Sharee Miller (Author) I received a copy of he book in exchange for this review. Inside this post is my affiliate links. If you click on the links and you make a purchase I will make a small percentage from the items you purchased.
I wish you could see how much fun the kids are having planting a Garden. Look at the smile on the ladies face and the children as there working in the Garden. Charlie thought the story was fun and unique because Michelle’s Garden: How the First Lady Planted Seeds of Change features Michelle Obama the Ex-Presidents wife. Charlie enjoyed seeing Michelle riding a bike with her brother.
Seeing the family enjoy dinner together was a BLESSING. I believe all families should eat together and its what I enjoy doing with my family. In the story we learn Michelle has two daughters Malia and Sasha. Aren’t those pretty names? In the story we see how they stay active as a family.
Then Michelle becomes First Lady of the Untied States. Michelle decides to plant a kitchen garden and this would be the biggest Garden ever at the White House. The Garden would feed everyone in the White House and leave food to share.
Michelle looks for help with the garden because she didn’t know how to plant a Garden. Could you help her? Seeing Michelle ask for help teaches us that its okay to ask for help. Michelle ask the Chefs and Gardeners who work in the White House to help her. Michelle also invited local students to help as well.
I love how the Author included a list of tools any gardener would need inside or outside. n the day they plant the Garden they pick out a Sunny spot on the lawn to plant the Garden. When Gardening things grow at there own time and you can’t rush Nature and this is what Michelle and her Crew did they waited for things to grow which we all need to do.
Charlie and I enjoyed seeing President Obama pitch in and help with the garden. Finally the Garden was ready which brings us to Harvest Day The food was ready to pick. Now everyone had lots of healthy food to eat.
I hope you take the time to check out Michelle’s Garden: How the First Lady Planted Seeds of Change the perfect picture story book for Upper Elementary Students but anyone who enjoys Gardening or #Homeschooling will enjoy this story.
About the book:
From an acclaimed author and illustrator: Enjoy this tribute to Former First Lady Michelle Obama and her contributions to building the healthy future that America’s children deserve.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama had an idea. A big, inspiring, and exciting idea! She would grow the largest kitchen garden ever at the White House. This wouldn’t be easy, since she’d never gardened before: Where should she start? What tools did she need? What would she plant?
Everyone needs help when they’re learning something for the first time, even the first lady of the United States. So she gathered the help of local students, the White House staff, and even President Barack Obama. Together, they wouldn’t just grow a garden—they would inspire a nation!
