About this book
Everyday Garden was published by Bradbury Press in 1993 and belongs to the house's 1990s list — the years when Bradbury built its reputation on a small number of books given a great deal of attention. It was written by Cynthia Rylant, who has 21 titles on the list.
Who it's for
Early readers, roughly ages 5–8. Short chapters, controlled vocabulary, and pictures on every spread — written for a child moving from being read to toward reading alone.
Where it sits on the list
Not every Bradbury book carried a citation. The house published on the belief that a book earns its place by being read for decades, and many of the titles without medals stayed longest in classrooms and libraries.
How to find it
Bradbury doesn't sell direct. The most reliable route to a copy of Everyday Garden is an independent bookseller or a library catalogue — WorldCat will show you which nearby libraries hold it, and OpenLibrary lists the editions that have existed since 1993.
