The art of kids being kids comes alive. . . . Graham's signature watercolor-and-ink illustrations bring it all to life beautifully. The subtlety of the storytelling makes a statement about art in a time of disease better than words ever could. . . . Deft, understated loveliness. --Kirkus Reviews (starred review), The art of kids being kids comes alive. . . . Graham's signature watercolor-and-ink illustrations bring it all to life beautifully. The subtlety of the storytelling makes a statement about art in a time of disease better than words ever could. . . . Deft, understated loveliness. --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Alternating wide shots of the decorated plaza with tighter vignettes of the artists thoughtfully evaluating their canvas, executing their ideas, and reflecting on the results, Graham (Jigsaw) celebrates the book's young cast as serious creators joined in sharing art's healing power. --Publishers Weekly Graham tells and shows a story of children making a world with art. . . Graham does a heart-lifting job of portraying the kind of creativity that flourishes without planning, goals, or adult input when children engage in parallel play. . . In this joyous offering Graham (most recently Jigsaw, rev. 9/22) cements his role as the master of the optimistic picture book. --The Horn Book The story is simply told, but Graham's sensitive ink drawings with watercolor washes give each scene a playful, endearing look. In the context of the postpandemic period, it seems natural that the children at ground level and the adults watching from above are equally riveted by the kids' activities and creativity in this beguiling picture book. --Booklist The book carries a deeper message, written as a reflection on the separation and reunion of loved ones throughout the recent pandemic. --We Are Teachers The joy of children working together in creative pursuit is beautifully captured in Graham's subtle lyricism and delicate illustrations. . . This read-aloud will inspire many rich conversations about community, emotions, and kindness. --School Library Journal

Synopsis
A timely, inspiring, and uplifting story about hope and the power of creative expression from one of the world's most treasured storytellers After a long, cold winter, doors finally open, and children spill out like candies from a box. Amanda is the last one out of the apartment building, with a carton of chalk in her hands. On every inch of the pavement outside, the children draw pictures of flowers and trees, mushrooms and snails, and a few very unexpected things. It's a concrete garden. Their creativity, unfettered in the open air, brings something beautiful, something hopeful, to the residents there, and to many more across the globe. From master storyteller Bob Graham comes a charming, gentle post-pandemic story about finding optimism after a dark spell, and the nurturing power of community friendships in an urban setting. The Concrete Garden will resonate with anyone who has been apart from their loved ones, and will encourage us all to find the brightness and color within ourselves.
