About this listen
Meet the animals, plants, and people who make the garden come alive!
Through snow, sun, wind, and rain, a garden never truly sleeps. On the shores of Lake Superior, Aunt Noriko and her niece Dehlia nurture their garden through every season-planting seeds, fending off hungry visitors, harvesting vegetables, and giving thanks for nature's abundance.
Told in lyrical verse and filled with vivid illustrations, Garden Sleeping, Garden Growing celebrates the cycle of the year with science facts, folklore, and hands-on wisdom. A perfect book for curious kids, young gardeners, and families who love the natural world.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

"From a cold and sometimes snowy spot comes a warm story of a lovely growing garden and a talented gardener who plants and tends it. This is a wonderful story to share with children about the magic of growing plants and the gifts that they give to those who care for them ...an inspiration to young readers and also those who read to them." —Janet Schultz, Botany Program Leader, Eastern Region US Forest Service USDA, retired
"This heartwarming story, amplified with colorful, glowing illustrations, will awaken garden dreams for children and adults both! Led through a cyclical year of gardening, we begin to understand not only how to grow a garden, but basic concepts of environmentalism and our interconnectedness with nature all around us." —Isabel Estrada, author of La Mariachi
"Garden Sleeping, Garden Growing is a book with a scope as wide as the seasons! Woven between wondrous illustrations and informative text, a story as old as stories themselves unfolds for young and old. This is a book to be shared in any season--as relatable as it is relevant!" —Tim Cleary, Associate Prof of Drawing/Painting, NMU
