Growing an Artist: The Story of a Landscaper and His Son by John Parra

4.0

"I will use my art to tell the stories of hardworking, passionate people who make the world more beautiful."

John Parra writes of a young boy who joins his landscaper father at work. Together, they create a landscaping plan that their clients love, and Juanito gets to see his hard work come to fruition. With beautiful earthy colors reminiscent of southern California, Parra enlightens us with his version of the eureka state as one filled with hardworking, community-loving people. 

The quotation above, I think, is not just Juanito speaking. I think it is John Parra speaking as well, for he has certainly made the world more beautiful with this book.
