"In lilting, free-verse passages, [Root] lets kids know that even
small plots of native plants can replicate prairie conditions.
Bowen’s woodblock illustrations lend the right low-tech, homemade
feel to the pages." —Publishers Weekly
"Could well inspire a new generation of conservationists." —Kirkus
Reviews
"Although the description here is of the inhabitants of a
Midwestern prairie, the conservation and restoration message is
universal." —Horn Book Magazine
"Plant a Pocket of Prairie is one of the spring season's most
beautiful and useful books." —Pioneer Press
