Lois Ehlert's classic picture book, Planting a Rainbow, follows a mother and child through the process of planting a flower garden. From choosing seeds and bulbs to watching sprouts emerge and blossoms bloom, readers learn about various flowers and the colors they bring. Ehlert's signature bold, graphic illustrations make identifying each plant easy and engaging for young children. It's a wonderful book for introducing basic botany, color recognition, and the simple pleasures of gardening to preschoolers and early elementary students.
