The Whole Green World

BY TONY JOHNSTON, ILLUSTRATED BY ELISA KLEVEN

Brief Description:
After putting on her red shoes, a girl and her shaggy dog set out to plant the whole world. During the course of their imaginary journey they have many helpers - birds, insects, and sun among them - and then return home to wait for the magic of spring. A catchy and rhythmic poem and collages infused with a riot of detail and color make this the perfect book for those who cherish all the things that beautify the earth. "Amid swirls of brightly colored birds, bugs, seeds, leaves, wild creatures, buildings and people, a child ties her shoes, then goes out to plant, nurture and spread a garden-all to the tune of Johnston's song-like verses." - Kirkus Reviews
