Jayden's Impossible Garden
Written by Melina Mangal and illustrated by Ken Daley, Jayden’s Impossible Garden features a young Black boy named Jayden living in a city. Though his mother tells him that “there’s no nature here in the middle of the city,” Jayden learns to find nature in his urban environment by cultivating a garden with his neighbor, Mr. Curtis. The picture book emphasizes the idea that nature is everywhere—even in cities!—and includes a guide on how to create upcycled planters to encourage readers to plant their own gardens.
