I Beg Your Pardon, But This Is My Garden!

Capturing first place in its category at the 2015 Royal Palm Literary Awards competition, I Beg Your Pardon, But This Is My Garden! is a wonderfully illustrated story poem for children that offers life lessons about sharing the environment and peaceful co-existence. The story, which has received excellent reviews from parents and educators, features a group of garden bugs who argue about who owns the garden they share. Paul Irving Pickett, a very wise cricket, settles matters at the end of a very long day.
