The Digger and the Flower (The Digger)

The first breathtaking book with a powerful message about the environment in acclaimed author/artist Joseph Kuefler's bestselling Digger series, perfect for fans of Peter Brown’s The Curious Garden and Kadir Nelson’s If You Plant a Seed. Each day, the big trucks go to work. They scoop and hoist and push. But when Digger discovers something growing in the rubble, he sets in motion a series of events that will change him, and the city, forever. “Kuefler imbues the text with the heart and soul of the best storytime fare…One couldn’t hope for a better tale of rebirth and regeneration.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Kuefler’s simply written and beautifully illustrated tale has a powerful message about the importance of the environment...A wonderful, inspiring tale, perfect for read-alouds.” —School Library Journal (starred review)
