The Garden in My Mind

Grades K-6 (especially 3-6) 

Maci and Trey love to have a good time, but it sometimes gets them in trouble.

When their teacher, Mrs. Julian catches them behaving badly, she warns them “flowers fade every time a bad choice is made.”

Mrs. Julian explains the importance of making positive choices – and growing a garden in your mind.

Maci takes the teacher’s words to heart and begins to question her actions. 

Using a garden metaphor, talented new author Stephie McCumbee explains how to ignore distractions, take responsibility for your behaviors and make better choices.

This richly illustrated picture book offers valuable life lessons to young readers so they can “grow their garden” in school and at home.
