My Latest Book:

WE CAN HEAR WITHOUT EARS
And Other Things You Didn't Know We Plants Could Do

By Lisa Westberg Peters
Illustrated by Danielle Ridolfi
Published by Astra Young Readers

Plants have secret skills. They are water wizards, finding water in the driest landscapes. They are a community, sending underground messages—and even food and water!—to other plants. And yes, they can hear without ears.

Here’s a wondrous picture book for children ages 4–8 that will shake up the way readers think about plants.
