Surprise in Auntie's Garden! — Ann Morris

Surprise in Auntie's Garden!/¡Sorpresa en el jardín de la tía! is Ms Morris' most recent publication. The digital illustrations are by Heather Varkarotas, a children's author in her own right. Auntie ̣(the author) and her niece Erin spend much time observing Auntie's flower garden. One day, Erin discovers a colorful "worm" in the garden, which turns out to be a Monarch caterpillar. Auntie shows Erin how to use the Internet to learn what the caterpillar is and to see it's life cycle. It is a book of discovery, of learning, of beauty, of adult-child bonding, and of learning how to find information.
