ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Manny harnesses love, determination, and a visit to the library to care for his first plant and make his gardener father proud.
Manny comes from a long line of gardeners, and to him, the greatest gardener of all is his dad. Dad always knows what plants need. Even with no yard to garden in, he tends their small apartment into a lush jungle.
One day, the time comes for Manny to get his very own first plant! Dad trusts Manny to care for his new amigo, and Manny is determined to rise to the challenge. But watching Dadās masterful work isnāt the same as knowing everything he knows, and Mannyās amigo keeps wilting, no matter what he tries! Dad would know what to do, but this is Mannyās plant, and he wants to be the one to save it.
Luckily, before his new amigo, Manny had another friend: the library! A day of research and a stack of books gets him back on track in no time. Mannyās plant grows bigger and bigger, until his room overflows with beautiful, healthy leaves, plentiful enough for Dad to share cuttings with the whole neighborhood. Now Manny can proudly say that he is the youngest in a long line of gardeners.
Longtime illustrator Matthew Rivera makes his authorial debut with a story that will warm every green-thumbed heart. Any child with an older role model whose shoes they dream of growing into will delight in Mannyās success and his zest for independent trial-and-error.
