Bring a sack lunch and listen weekly to Ms. Krista read "Growing Home" by Beth Ferry. Participants will receive a copy of the book to keep.
Book Summary: When a grumpy goldfish accidentally gives two houseplants and a curious spider magical powers, an unlikely team is formed. But when a greedy human sets his sights on their enchanted tank, they’ll have to work together to save their family...and their home.
"In its matter-of-fact wisdom, rich vocabulary, hint of magic, and empathetic nonhuman characters who solve problems in creative ways, this delightful work is reminiscent of [books by] Kate DiCamillo, Lauren Castillo, and Cynthia Lord and Stephanie Graegin." —Kirkus Reviews
“A meditative, charming delight.” —School Library Journal (starred review)
"Growing Home" was the 2025 Barnes & Noble Children's Book of the Year.
