Book Overview
A Garden's Search for Water is the second illustrated chapter book in the Adventures of Archie Artichoke series of stories written about a remarkable garden of vegetables.
In this adventure, Archie and his veggie friends hike to a distant garden, where the vegetables there have lost their source of water and many have become ill. During their search for answers, the veggies find a spirited group of forest animals has caused the water to stop flowing. Now it's up to Archie to convince them to change their ways. But how will he do it?
All of the Archie Artichoke series of books are written specifically to help children develop their imagination through visual imaging of text and dialogue, complemented with full-color illustrations.

Accomplishing a difficult task and solving problems;
Working with others to achieve a common goal;
The importance of water for life;
Caring, helping others, friendship; and
The names of many important vegetables!
This children's story introduces the topic that "everyone deserves the right to have water." This is an important discussion as it relates to the health of children around the world.
