For every girl who has a plan and for every mom who wants her girls to follow their dreams. A wonderful story of perseverance, dreaming big and working hard to accomplish what you want.
It's out of print yet available at your library or I bought two @amazon.com. You've got to have it in your collection.

Well, mice are evil...this could be much better if the animals were bunnies. However, I liked the planning and executing of a plan. Gardens don't happen over night (Oh boy do I know) and then they take watering and sun and faith and good weather....and sometimes that doesn't work out! Still, a nice book about goals and plans!

A wonderful story about working hard to make your dream come to life, and then sharing that dream with others. Love the illustrations too.
