Take a walk through Karen's Garden . Discover new types of flowers, fruits, and vegetables while enjoying the vibrant, colorful illustrations of Andres Pratts. Learn the important themes of family, growth, gardening, and love. Karen's Garden will inspire your whole family to plant a garden and see what grows. This is the first book by author Andrew Kranichfeld. He hopes that Karen's Garden will encourage children to connect with mother nature through gardening and try some new types of vegetables. The book is also a tribute to his late mother, Karen, who was his inspiration for this story. In 2010 Andrew lost his sight and it is also his hope that this book can be an inspiration for others to achieve their goals no matter what their circumstances or disabilities.
