The sprite and the gardener6/20/2023 Cute and charming, though a bit slight, this is a very endearing story of gardening, teamwork and friendship that is sure to warm your heart.Īs someone that always disliked group projects in school, I could certainly relate to the aversion to group gardening that trips up the characters in this story. Wisteria moves to town and decides to lend a hand to Elena, a teen girl who can’t seem to get her garden to grow, but will her help be unwelcome and shatter Elena’s confidence or will it lead to a new partnership between humans and sprites. With incredible artwork, this is the story of how sprites used to grow the world’s gardens but stepped aside once humans divided up the land and began their individual gardens. It is an important lesson to learn that asking for help and working together is not something to be ashamed of and this message is central to the adorable youth graphic novel, The Sprite and the Gardener from Rii Abrego and Joe Whitt. Sometimes, despite our best intentions and hard work, a task is just too great for one person alone.
