Miss Lady Bird's Wildflowers: How a First Lady Changed America
A flowing, engrossing biography of Lady Bird Johnson and her personal campaign to promote the beautification of cities and highways by planting wildflowers. Beautifully written and great as a read-aloud. The flower identification charts are terrific, detailed, and beautiful.
