All That Grows - Jack Wong

\nFrom Boston Globe-Horn Book Award winner Jack Wong, a story of a boy who discovers that the more he learns, the more there is to know!\n \nOn their neighborhood walks together, a boy learns from his older sister all about the plants they see -- magnolias that smell like lemon cake, creeping weeds that used to be planted for decoration, and even how dandelion greens can be eaten with spaghetti! But what makes a plant a flower, vegetable or weed, anyway? How can his sister tell, and how does she know so much? \n \nThe boy's head spins as he realizes how vast the universe is and how much there is to learn ... until he resolves to let his knowledge grow in its own way and time, just like the mysterious plants he has decided to nurture in the garden.\n \nAward-winning creator Jack Wong brings us a delightful, nuanced story about cultivating patience and letting knowledge grow.\n \n \n \n \nKey Text Features\n \ndialogue\n \nillustrations\n \n \n \n \nCorrelates to the Common Core States Standards in English Language Arts: \n \nCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.2\n \nRetell stories, including key details, and demonstrate understanding of their central message or lesson.\n \nCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.4\n \nIdentify words and phrases in stories or poems that suggest feelings or appeal to the senses.\n \nCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.7\n \nUse illustrations and details in a story to describe its characters, setting, or events.\n
