Plant a Pocket of Prairie - Written by Phyllis Root and Illustrated by Betsy Bowen

Plant a Pocket of Prairie is a beautifully written children’s picture book that takes

the reader on an adventure to explore the plants and animals that live in a

Minnesota prairie. The book begins with the sad reality that humans have taken

land that was prairie. It has a strong “call to action” and challenges readers to

bring nature home by planting native plants.

Resources available at the end of the book include information about the land,

plants, and animals of the Minnesota prairie.

This book is available at the following Lafayette Parish Library Branches: East

Regional Library, Main Library, North Regional Library, and South Regional

Library.
