Miss Lady Bird's Wildflowers: How a First Lady Changed America
by Kathi Appelt and Joy Fisher Hein

Miss Lady Bird's Wildflowers: How a First Lady Changed America Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Bluebonnets and lady's slippers, larkspurs and blazing stars, black-eyed Susans and Granny's nightcaps.

From a lonely childhood in the Piney Woods of East Texas to an exciting life in the White House, Lady Bird Johnson loved these wildflowers with all her heart. They were her companions in her youth, greeting her everywhere as she explored wild forests, bayous, and hills. Later, as First Lady, she sought to bring the beauty of wildflowers to America's cities and highways. She wanted to make sure every child could enjoy the splendor of wildflowers.

In this warm, engaging look at the life of a great First Lady, Kathi Appelt tells the story behind Lady Bird Johnson's environmental vision. Joy Fisher Hein's colorful wildflowers burst from every page, inviting us to share in Lady Bird's love for natural beauty.

Review:

"Hein is more skillful at depicting landscapes than human figures, but overall the book is attractive and well written." Hornbook Guide to Children

Review:

"[C]hildren will pore enthusiastically over her riotous, millefleur landscapes, each bloom so meticulously rendered that bluebells can be distinguished from bluebonnets by using the identification key provided." Booklist

Review:

"Hein's delicate pictures are in bright, clear colors and her flowers instantly recognizable in broad vistas and intimate close-ups." Kirkus Reviews

Synopsis:

This beautiful picture book tells the heartwarming story of how Lady Bird Johnson shared her love of wildflowers with the nation when her husband, Lyndon Johnson, became president. As First Lady, she ensured every part of America was sown with wildflowers. Full color.
