A follow-up to Over and Under the Snow that explores the hidden world and many lives of a garden through the course of a year.

Up in the garden, the world is full of green—leaves and sprouts, growing vegetables, ripening fruit. But down in the dirt there is a busy world of earthworms digging, snakes hunting, skunks burrowing, and all the other animals that make a garden their home.

In this exuberant and lyrical book, discover the wonders that lie hidden between stalks, under the shade of leaves . . . and down in the dirt.
