Mary Had a Little Plan by Tammi Sauer, illustrated by Vanessa Brantley-Newton

Mary Had a Little Plan by Tammi Sauer, illustrated by Vanessa Brantley-Newton

“Mary had a little plan that sprouted on the spot. It all began the day she passed a drab, abandoned lot”.

This is a fun, rhyming book you can sing (to the tune of “Mary Had a Little Lamb” of course) about Mary, a little black girl, who decides to clean up the lot and plant a garden, with help from some friends.

Kirkus describes it as “fun and inspiring”.

Brantley-Newton is an acclaimed Black illustrator. If you like this book, check out Mary Had a Little Jam and Mary Had a Little Glam too.
