If you are Chip and Joanna Gaines what project do you take on after the blockbuster five-season series “Fixer Upper”, a few best-selling books, a magazine, the restoration of the silos in Waco, Texas and raising five children? (I’m sure I left something out.) You write a children’s picture book, that’s what!

This beautiful and delightful book would make the perfect gift for the gardener in your life, or anyone who has a black-thumb but still appreciates a fresh-picked tomato or a zinnia bouquet. The precious bookplate on the garden tool-themed end pages makes it extra-special and ideal for gift-giving.

As an avid lover of books, I especially appreciate a well-phrased book dedication, and since my father is a lover of outdoors and growing things, I adore the Gaines children’s commitment to their father. He encouraged their interest in growing things by bringing home a fern for them to tend. The rest is history. The entire family (except for bitty baby Crew) are garden enthusiasts, and they give Dad credit.

“We Are the Gardeners” will be a treasure on anyone’s bookshelf.
