Where Wonder Grows

Where Wonder Grows by Xelena Gonzalez
Illustrator
Where Wonder Grows is a beautifully rooted entry in the field of diverse picture books, linking a child, her grandmother, and the natural world through curiosity and inherited knowledge. As the pair move through the landscape, the story invites readers to notice plants, weather, memory, and cultural continuity with patience and reverence. For collections focused on Latinx and Indigenous-influenced picture books, this title offers intergenerational warmth and a strong sense of place. Especially good for slow read-alouds, close looking, and outdoor curiosity. Best for ages 5 to 9, with enough depth for conversation after the last page. Rogers. Keep browsing picture books about BIPOC, or read it alongside Chooch Helped by Andrea L. Rogers.
