"...DiSalvo's warm text is enhanced by her soft pencil-and-watercolor illustrations depicting a diverse neighborhood drawn together by a community project. Appended information on the American Community Garden Association and how to start local gardens will inspire readers to action in their own neighborhoods."

Linda Ward Callaghan, Booklist

"...An optimistic tale that manages to be both encouraging yet realistic about how to do some good in your very own backyard."
