I recently had the pleasure of reading this delightful picture book "You Grow, Girl!" by Rose Rossner, and it's an absolute gem! Filled with beautiful plant illustrations and heartwarming rhymes, this book is like a breath of fresh air.

From the very first page, I was enchanted by the colorful illustrations that brought each page to life. The hand-lettering adds a personal touch that makes the book feel extra special. The messages within the book are not just for little ones but resonate with readers of all ages.

One of the things I adored about this book is the clever use of puns and whimsical humor throughout. It made me chuckle and brought a smile to my face with every page turn. The "To:" and "From:" feature on the front page also makes it a perfect gift for any occasion.

"You Grow, Girl!" is not just a children's book; it's a reminder to believe in yourself, embrace new beginnings, and spread love and encouragement wherever you go. I found myself feeling uplifted and inspired after reading it, making it a must-have addition to anyone's bookshelf.

I love this book! My kiddos do too! This book has such a sweet message and also brought up some good conversations about different kinds of plants. This book is perfect for younger kids, but would also be a great gift book for older kids (possibly going through a tough time or leaving for college). I already ordered a physical copy for my household. I loved it!

Absolutely adorable. The rhyming, puns, and illustrations are a hit together. I think this is more of a gift book than a library book.

The cover alone was enough to have me requesting this book!! I have so many plants and Oliver has really been a lover as well. He has so many in his room and we always water the plants together every week. It's no surprise that I'm a big plant-y person with my blog style. haha

This book is full of beautiful illustrations and pages. I thought the puny lines they chose really worked too. Oliver loved this one because he thought it was so pretty. Anything to do with plants is a big hit for us. I will absolutely be buying this for his Easter basket!

Don't get confused with the "girl" in the title. This book is definitely for all! If you enjoy the plant life and cute books then this is for you! I like that there's a to/from page in the front. It's great when you have a dedicated area when gifting because I will be gifting this!

Many thanks to Sourcebooks Wonderland and Netgalley for an e-arc. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

“Need encourage-mint? I’m here.”

Absolutely loved this book. The illustrations were so gorgeous to look at, each page was visually stunning. The font styles were great.

While this is categorized as Children’s Fiction, this is absolutely a read for all ages! From children to adults, everyone can enjoy these punny lines.

It has a pretty front page that has a “To:” and “From:” which is great if you are gifting to someone. It’s a perfect gift for your child, your BFF, your significant other, the plant lover in your life, for someone who needs a pick-me-up. A great book to gift for any sort of special occasion that celebrates someone’s triumphs!

5/5 would buy this book or borrow this book at the library

Thank you Sourcebooks Kids (Sourcebooks Wonderland) and NetGalley for this eARC. This is my honest review!

Not my favorite. The illustrations were cute and colorful, but the rhymes were really corny, even for a children’s book.

Thanks to Netgalley and Sourcebooks Kids for the ARC of this!

This was quick and adorable! My 7 year old thought the puns were hilarious. The art style was sweet.

This book is absolutely adorable! It is filled with beautiful illustrations that convey positive messages and plant puns that promote confidence and self-love. This definitely made my day a little brighter! I enjoyed reading it!

Thank you NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Kids for the advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

"You Grow Girl" cultivates a charming atmosphere of wordplay and plant-related puns, centered around the empowering notion of "bloom where you're planted." Bursting with whimsical humor and clever language, this book is an ideal choice for those seeking a lighthearted read or a unique gift. However, its suitability for library collections may be limited, unless utilized specifically as a mentor text for teaching the art of playful language manipulation. While its pun-filled pages may not align with every library's collection development goals, "You Grow Girl" certainly offers an amusing and imaginative exploration of linguistic creativity, making it a delightful addition to any language arts curriculum or creative writing workshop.

This book was cute. The illustrations were beautiful and it was FULL of plant puns. It’s just an encouraging message of doing your best and affirmations. A cute little read.

Thanks NetGalley for the preview!

This book was cute but a few of the puns were a stretch. Loved the pictures.

This book was cute - I liked the artwork and I’m a big fan of when a children’s book rhymes.

I’m big on puns and this one is full of them. It’s more of a book for mom than baby since kids won’t get the puns (lol).

I would buy it for a friend.

You Grow, Girl is an adorable children’s book full of plant puns, love, positivity, and gorgeous illustrations! It kept my kids’ interest and they loved all of the fun plant puns with smiles and laughs. It’s so sweet and also brought a smile to my face with each page I read and each beautiful picture I looked at. I would recommend this book to anyone with young children who enjoy puns, plants, beautiful illustrations and to share love.

A delightful and encouraging picture book featuring many plants. The illustrations were so cute and fit the text on each page. There’s no more than a sentence or two in each two page spread, which will make it a great read aloud. I think this will be a book kids enjoy and want to go back to because of the plant puns!

This book was absolutely adorable! This would be a fun book for storytime. Beautiful illustrations, with positive messages and puns all about self love and confidence. This would be a perfect read after a tough day or just as a reminder that you are awesome!

Very fun read and cute pics - read with my four year old and we both enjoyed! Thanks for the advanced copy.

I absolutely ADORE this book! I love children’s books that have puns, beautiful illustrations, & a great message to young children — & this book has it all! I highly recommend this book to anyone who has young girls in their lives. This would make a wonderful baby shower or birthday gift!

I received an electronic ARC from SOURCEBOOKS Kids through NetGalley.
I had no idea there were this many plant puns to be shared. Rossner offers readers an encouraging book that celebrates how special they are. The puns bring soft humor to the message and offer laughter along with empowerment. The illustrations offer visuals to support the message on each page spread. I'm looking forward to purchasing this for the girls in my life. This is a needed message for girls and women of all ages.
