From the author-illustrator team behindOver and Under the SnowandOver and Under the Pond.

Explore the secret realm beneath the dirt that brings the world of nature to life: Follow a young girl and her grandmother on a journey through the year, planning, planting, and harvesting their garden, and learn about what’s happening in the dirt to help make it all happen.

Up in the garden, the world is full of green – leaves and sprouts, growing vegetables, ripening fruit. But down in the dirt exists a busy world – earthworms dig, snakes hunt, skunks burrow – populated by all the creatures that make a garden their home.

These secrets and many others are waiting to be discovered up in the garden and down in the dirt in this sweet children’s book from Kate Messner and Christopher Silas Neal, the latest in their beloved series that offers kids a peek into hidden ecosystems.
