Leonard Grows a Haunted Garden tells the story of Leonard, a cheerful, can-do ghost, who is on a mission to grow a garden for his family. While the other ghosts want it to be the scariest garden ever, Leonard has a different vision.

As Leonard begins to plant, he chooses flowers that are pretty instead of putrid and opts for bird feeders instead of bat boxes. This sparks concernโ€”has Leonard made a grave mistake? Or will his unique botanical surprise blossom into a spook-tacular delight?

This charming story, from Bill Martin Jr. Picture Book Award winner Mike Ciccotello, welcomes spring with themes of family, gardening, and a determined ghost with a green thumb.
