Step into the fragrant world of herbs and discover how these small but mighty plants have shaped kitchens, medicine cabinets, and cultures for thousands of years. Follow the journey from seed to stem to harvest, and learn how roots, leaves, and oils help herbs grow, heal, and attract the pollinators that keep gardens alive. Through poetic verse, vivid illustrations, and fascinating real-world facts, this book reveals the science of plant chemistry, soil health, and seasonal growth. A celebration of flavor and resilience, it invites readers to see the herb garden as a living laboratory right outside the door.

Meet The Artist Shana Songin
I am a freelance Illustrator with a love for Animation. Because of that, I aim to put a bit of magic into everything that I create.
I grew up around nature and have a strong respect for herbs and what they can do! Nature is part of our lives, and is ultimately our home, so why shouldn't we respect it?
As with nature, I believe that art is an important part of our lives! it's a way to express ourselves in a way that no one else can, and it connects people in ways that is hard found elsewhere.
That's what I aim to do; connect with people through art. I want to make art that makes people want to make their own art, and I hope you feel that through the pages in my books!
Do what you love, and pursue it with your full heart. If you don't, then who will?
