There she initiates a gradual transformation, bit by bit brightening the shop and bringing smiles to customers' faces with the flowers she grows. But it is in a secret place that Lydia Grace works on her masterpiece -- an ambitious rooftop garden -- which she hopes will make even Uncle Jim smile. Sarah Stewart introduces readers to an engaging and determined young heroine, whose story is told through letters written home, while David Small's illustrations beautifully evoke the Depression-era setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHusband and wife duo \u003cb\u003eSarah Stewart\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eDavid Small\u003c\/b\u003e have worked together on several picture books, including \u003ci\u003eThe Friend\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Money Tree\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Library\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eThe Gardener\u003c\/i\u003e is a Caldecott Honor book.
