review:
'The Gardener of Alcatraz' by Emma Bland Smith with illustrations by Jenn Ely is the true story of Elliott Michener in picture book format.
When Elliott Michener was caught counterfeiting and sent to Alcatraz, all he could think about was escaping. What happened instead was an opportunity that transformed his life and the island around Alcatraz.
I loved this story of hope and beauty and a man who truly changed his life. The illustrations are also fabulous. The story is followed by a brief biography with pictures.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Charlesbridge and NetGalley. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
