Persephone’s Quest for a Green Thumb is a beautifully illustrated, book for people who love plants. The upbeat, inspirational story offers unique insights, including some tricks of the trade.
By the end of the story, you’ll understand which parameters matter the most. You will see how these factors interact with each other. And your confidence in growing plants will grow! Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a brand new gardener, this book offers an interesting look into the world of horticulture.
The book was written for a middle grade target audience. However, as I was showing it to family and friends, I found time and again that adults love it too. Really, this book is for gardeners and plant lovers. All of us! The story is understandable enough for a 9 year old to enjoy. But the information and horticultural insights appeal to an older audience too. Even seasoned gardeners tell me that they learned things!
The book is heavy on illustrations. They help to set the scene. They convey the emotional state of the characters. And they accurately show practices in greenhouses and vertical farms. The story itself could be read in a little over half an hour. Even still, it has been broken down into 5 easily digestible chapters.

Love your shirt!
I listened to your free version here on KZread because I was not sure if it was also suitable for an adult but it was so beautifully written and the speakers did such a wonderful job that I am inclined to buy a copy of it now . Such an endearing stor! for me as a 41 year old, new to gardening beginner , i still enjoyed it very much and found it had insightful tips on how to approach learning about plants and keeping at it even if you might not always succeed.

That's so nice of you to say! Thanks so much for the positive feedback!! 😃 I really tried to balance out the story. Everyone loves the pictures so much, I figured... 'Hey, why not make the entire audiobook available for free!? Then people can test it out and see what they think.' There are plenty more images in the book that weren't shown in my video. So if you decide to get a copy, you'll thoroughly enjoy the experience!!!

Bought it, loved it! Amazing Artwork!!! This is a gem! I hope lots of children and also adults stumble over this book to find their own green thumb. My plants are thriving btw. I started gardening this year with bee and butterfly flowers in June, then watercress and then garlic. Now my salads are sprouting!!
My one year old daughter is still a little too young but I went ahead and order her a copy :) As a self-published author I can appreciate how much work is involved in seeing a book to the finish line. Congratulations! I look forward to reading it.

Thanks so much for your feedback and kind words! I did all the graphic design. I did a lesser amount of illustrations, combined with image generators for many of the base art elements. It's all self-published.
I'm glad you have an audiobook version. I like listening to podcasts and music while I work (nights), so I can't wait to check it out tonight! (...and I'm buying the paperback copy as well!)
