February 26th is Jumpstart’s Read for the Record in Broward County and beyond! It is the world’s largest shared reading experience to celebrate children’s early language and social-emotional development. Join over 2 million readers and thousands of classrooms, libraries, and communities coming together to celebrate early literacy.
See Marcus Grow is a vibrant picture book that introduces young readers to the wonders of gardening while exploring themes of curiosity, discovery, nurturing and growth. In this story, the young character named Marcus learns from his grandmother in her garden. The book beautifully illustrates the parallel between plant care and human development, sharing the wisdom that both children and seedlings need “water and air and sunshine. And space to grow.” Learn more about Marcus Bridgewater, also known as the social media sensation Garden Marcus.
