This story is based on a game Naturalist Jared Goodykoontz's young students enjoy playing. Plant a garden and have a pollinator party. Red, a gnome, plants a garden while his grumpy neighbor, Blue, his grumpy neighbor, watches. Bees, butterflies & birds enjoy Red's party. In the end, Blue is intrigued and plants a flower to the delight of the local monarch butterflies. Red and Blue's story is delightful, but the true stars are the flowers, birds, bees, butterflies, and other insects. Although drawn on gnome-scaled, the illustrations of insects, birds, and plants are real animals and flowers, many which occur in the illustrator's own suburban garden.
