About this audiobook
IN THE SPRING what I love best in my garden are the birds
building nests.
In the spring what I love most to do is fly kites.
In this quiet story, a young girl and her older companion describe the garden
they love as it passes gently through the seasons. Originally published in
1960, In My Garden, by beloved picture book author Charlotte Zolotow,
has been freshly reimagined by acclaimed author/illustrator Philip Stead
as an homage to nature, friendship, and the passage of time.

About the author
Charlotte Zolotow was born Charlotte Gertrude Shapiro on June 26, 1915 in Norfolk, Virginia. She studied at the University of Wisconsin, where she took classes in art, writing and child psychology. She began her publishing career in New York, in the adult trade-book division of what is now known as HarperCollins, but eventually took a job in the children's division. As an editor, she presided over her own imprint, Charlotte Zolotow Books. She was named publisher emerita at HarperCollins in 1991. Her first picture book, The Park Book, was published in 1944. During her lifetime, she wrote more than 90 children's books including Mr. Rabbit and the Lovely Present, My Grandson Lew, William's Doll, The Hating Book, and The Seashore Book. In 1998, the Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC) at the Univeristy of Wisconsin - Madison's School of Education established the Charlotte Zolotow Award, which is an American literary award presented annually for outstanding picture book writing published in the United States in the preceding year. Zolotow died on November 19, 2013 at the age of 98.
