Miss Lady Bird's Wildflowers
Description
Bluebonnets and lady's slippers, larkspurs and blazing stars, black-eyed
Susans and Granny's nightcaps.
From a lonely childhood in the Piney Woods of East Texas to an exciting
life in the White House, Lady Bird Johnson loved these wildflowers with
all her heart. They were her companions in her youth, greeting her everywhere
as she explored wild forests, bayous, and hills. Later, as First Lady,
she sought to bring the beauty of wildflowers to America's cities and
highways. She wanted to make sure every child could enjoy the splendor
of wildflowers.
In this warm, engaging look at the life of a great First Lady, Kathi
Appelt tells the story behind Lady Bird Johnson's environmental vision.
Joy Fisher Hein's colorful wildflowers burst from every page, inviting
us to share in Lady Bird's love for natural beauty.
