Grandpa Green

I recently discovered a new (2011) children's book called Grandpa Green, written and illustrated by Lane Smith. The concept is genius; he pairs horticulture and family history. I wish I had thought of that!
The story is told through the eyes of one of Grandpa Green's great-grandsons. We are given a living tour of Grandpa's defining life experiences as recorded in his topiary garden. The illustrations are simple: black-and-white pencil drawn caricatures and the green topiary creations. Clever details are sprinkled in that give this book a fun character. A great find!
