Join author Lisa Anchin for story time in the Discovery Garden. Anchin will be reading her new book, The Little Green Girl. Pot up your own plant to take home!

The Little Green Girl is no ordinary topiary. She dreams of visiting far-off places and exploring the world beyond her garden’s walls. But for her gardener, Mr. Aster, the prospect of deviating from his daily routine—let alone leaving his beloved home—is unimaginable. Try as she might, the Little Green Girl can’t uproot herself and set off on her own. To realize her dream, she’ll have to find a way to show Mr. Aster that it’s possible to carry a bit of home with you wherever you go.

Free with Garden admission. Reading every 30 minutes.

About the Author: Lisa Anchin (lisaanchin.com) is a Brooklyn-based illustrator with at least one green thumb.

The Little Green Girl is her first book.
