"Uncle John's City Garden" by Bernette G. Ford and illustrated by Frank Morrison, a Coretta Scott King Award Winner, is a city garden.  It brings up memories of visiting family during the summer when school is closed. 

​Three siblings get a lesson on tending to a garden and watching growth of their chosen foods from seed to table.  The pictures are captivating, the story simple yet grasping.  This book would definitely be one that would encourage city children to have a place where the garden grows right in the heart of the city.
