About This Book

Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the concept of waiting or feels frustrated by projects that do not show immediate results. Zinnia's Flower Garden is a beautiful introduction to the virtue of patience, using the natural cycle of a garden to demonstrate that the best things in life require time, care, and steady effort. Zinnia is an industrious young girl who prepares her soil, plants seeds, and carefully tends to her sprouts through the changing seasons. The story captures the quiet wonder of nature while celebrating the immense pride that comes from seeing a long-term goal through to completion. It is a perfect selection for preschoolers and early elementary children who are beginning to explore science and their own emotional resilience.
