Advanced Praise for Grandma Lisa's Humming, Buzzing, Chirping Garden


​Grandma Lisa’s Garden has it all; wit, rhyme, wisdom and above all, a very important and timely message for parent and child alike.
---
Doug Tallamy, author of  Bringing Nature Home, Nature’s Best Hope, and The Nature of Oaks
​Join Grandma Lisa as she enlists the enthusiastic help of her grandchildren in transforming her yard into an attractive garden for wildlife. Along the way she explains why planting native species is so important and allays the children’s fear of insects by lovingly showing them how these critters are so essential to our world. 
The family revels in working together, adding plants and other elements to the garden necessary to support a variety of wildlife. As the yard begins to teem with animals, the children are simply enthralled and delighted by the sights, sounds, and mere presence of nature found in Grandma Lisa’s garden!
​

This book’s target audience is lower elementary school grades, though upper elementary grades may also find it useful as part of a curriculum on creating natural habitat.

​If you’re looking for the inspiration to create a wildlife habitat of your own, or are simply looking to spark a love of nature in youngsters, this is the book for you. Told in rhyme, children will enjoy learning about important concepts such as host plants, compost, food webs, and so much more. The brilliant and lively illustrations are not only intriguing, but fun and instructive. But be prepared... you just may find yourself pulling on your garden gloves, picking up a shovel, and heading outdoors to bring nature into the little piece of the planet where you live.

Book Endorsements
​

I want to live in Grandma Lisa’s garden, where everyone is welcome, from the slug and the wheelbug to the fireflies and butterflies. Each page of this lyrical, beautifully illustrated book shows just how magical—and eminently doable—a wildlife garden can be. While young readers learn about the lifestyles of salamanders under stones and bunnies in the brush pile, adults can pick up tips from this gentle blueprint for creating a life-saving space for all of our wild neighbors. If only I’d read this book 45 years ago, I would have started a lot sooner myself!

Nancy Lawson, author of The Humane Gardener
Told from the curious grandchild’s perspective, the story offers a step-by-step journey from traditional garden to fun habitat home for all sorts of critters (and grandkids!). Along the way, it gently answers questions about why plant choices matter as well as why some critters become food for others. It’s never too early to learn the term “food web!”

PREVIEW THE BOOK
"I received my copy of Grandma Lisa's Garden yesterday and have read it to my 2 year old about 6 times already (she's a bit of a bibliophile). This may be my new favorite kids book. As a naturalist, herpetologist, and ecologist, I love that there are actually real species depicted in the book and not just artists interpretations of general bug, lizard, plant-like things."

​​Published 2015 by Wild Ridge Press
Jared Rosenbaum is an author with deep ties to our local natural world. As a botanist who surveys some of New Jersey's richest wild places, and the owner of Wild Ridge Plants, LLC, a native plant nursery, he's attuned to the lifeways of wild plant species.  His new book, The Puddle Garden, is a children's book introducing kids and parents to gardening with native plants.

In The Puddle Garden, a lonely Bear Cub moves into an empty new house with his family, surrounded by a big, boring lawn. He sees a puddle in the lawn and has an inspiration — to invite wildlife friends to his new home, by creating a native plant garden.

Bear Cub plants cardinal flower, Joe Pye weed, blue flag iris, elderberry, and more. His garden quickly fills with grateful wildlife and his home landscape is no longer lonely.
​

Children and parents alike can be inspired by this story to create homes for butterflies, hummingbirds, turtles, frogs and other wildlife, using native wildflowers and shrubs that provide for their habitat needs.
