Picture books are part of children's everyday life and address significant themes for their development. They thus provide ideal starting points for conveying educational content relevant to the curriculum in daycare centers. The practical guides support educators in this endeavor. The diverse project ideas connect to the content of the educational areas. They encourage independent action and creativity, opening up new ways to explore picture books. In the non-fiction picture book "What Grows There?" by Gerda Muller, Sophie learns what gardening means in her grandparents' garden. She experiences how different vegetables grow and learns about the roles that ladybugs, earthworms, and bees play in this process. By enabling children to experience nature, educators contribute to the development of a conscious and responsible relationship with the natural world.
