ebook

CHIRP! CHIRP! CHIRP!

It's springtime on Bradford Street. Jada and Jamal are searching for signs of spring. So are their best friends, Carlita Garcia and Josh Cornell. Jada spots a robin and a fuzzy caterpillar, while trimmed forsythia branches burst into sunny yellow blossoms on the kitchen table.

But the most surprising sign of spring awaits them at school the next day . . . a surprise that blossoms into a colorful plan to beautify the schoolyard just in time for Earth Day.

When a delivery truck unloads fresh saplings from the city, Mrs. Pritchett reminds her excited students that people and plants make perfect partners! With daffodil bulbs, daisies, and shovels, the children paint border rocks and decorate a dreary gray wall with bright murals.

From purple crocuses in the yard to blooming garden beds on the playground, teamwork makes the whole school shine! Get set to dig in and join the neighborhood fun with the Bradford Street Buddies!
