Lillian's Garden

Renée Padmore-Baccus didn’t like bugs. She wasn’t a fan of dirt and she didn’t see herself as a gardener. One morning, everything changed when her grandmother, Lillian, gently handed her a watering can.

“Would you help me water the flowers?”

That simple invitation opened the door to something far greater than Renée ever imagined—a world of color, courage, and connection.

In this heartwarming story of growth, Lillian’s Garden celebrates the joy of discovering nature, the quiet wisdom passed from one generation to the next, and how a single act of care blossomed into a lifelong love.

Perfect for story time and family reading, this beautifully illustrated picture book encourages children to step outside, dig deep, and grow with love.
