Does anyone have any suggestions for a beginner non-bonsai horticulture/botany type book? Somewhere between a children's book and a textbook.

I can recommend this book, for all intents and purposes: https://chemistry.com.pk/books/campbell-biology-12e/
I checked the PDF with my virus scanner and it found nothing, so it seems trustworthy. But do check for yourself before opening it. Also, read the instructions about the password you need to download it, it's a simple copy and paste.
It goes into moderate depth on how plants work and how everything in life is chemistry. It start off at an easy pace in every chapter and it has great images to explain how and why things work the way they do.
If you just skim the information, it should arm you with all the knowledge you need to skip the botany books. Or.. If you ever want to become a high school biology teacher because this is about the whole curriculum and then some for university entry level biology.

You might consider finding out what textbooks your local college or university uses.

Campbell is the most major biology textbook. So yeah it is good for things like cells, DNA, biochemistry, etc. But it is not a botany book. It is also 100% a college bachelor level textbook. And not a 'Somewhere between a children's book and a textbook'.
That said, you can probably get it cheap second hand. No need to ge the absolute newest edition. Tons of students want to sell books like these once they pass the course. But unless you really like reading actual paper, probably some youtube videos are better.
