In One Small Garden, Barbara Nichol brings together stories, memories, and botany to create a book that is as unique and lush as a summer garden. Here, plants from all over the world live and eventually die. Ants, raccoons, and a stray cat cross paths with a lost cockatoo who originated thousands of miles away. Stories and memories of people share space in the garden too.
This is the perfect book for those who understand the enchantment and the wild-at-heart nature of the primmest garden. This is a book to treasure for the whole family.
Sweet book of very short inter-connected stories about a garden, enhanced by beautiful watercolor illustrations by Barry Moser. I found this while weeding the 500's at Fremont, and can't bear to discard it, though I'm not sure many children will pick it up. This would be a great gift for a gardener!
