Wisconsin artist!

By Lois Ehlert.

Planting a Rainbow, a companion to Ehlert's Growing Vegetable Soup, is a dazzling celebration of the colorful variety in a flower garden and the cyclical excitement of gardening. A young child relates in ten simple sentences the yearly cycle and process of planning, planting, and picking flowers in a garden. Mother and child plant bulbs in fall, order seeds from catalogs in winter, eagerly anticipate the first shoots of spring, select seedlings in summer, "and watch the rainbow grow," reveling in the opulence of color.

Children will especially delight in the six pages of varying width depicting all the flowers of each color of the rainbow. A celebration of the garden, the power of shape and color, and the harmony of text and image in a picture book.

Caldecott Honor winning author and illustrator, Lois Ehlert, resides in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
