Alexis Frederick-Frost is an author and illustrator whose books are distinguished by their accessible art, humor, and informative content. He wants all kids to experience the power and play of comics, which is why he and two friends co-wrote and illustrated the award-winning Adventures in Cartooning series of graphic novels. Compared to comics, gardening was a lot harder for Alexis to learn. His first garden faced an army of invading slugs, late spring snow storms, and a voracious groundhog-but he managed to harvest enough veggies to share. He now cultivates a collection of pampered orchids, a few of which make a cameo in this book.
