With most of our country in the throws of the harsh winter weather, Lucy London's sunny, charming new tale, A Peaceful Garden, brings it's readers the comforting warmth to our hearts that a garden can always bring to our lives.
Two sweet cats delight in showing your little ones all of the joys that they will receive (with a little help from you of course!) by planting a garden right at the first signs of Spring. "To grow a peaceful garden, wait for the last frost (just kiss the cold goodbye!) Now dig yourself a patch..."
This thoughtful duo remember to highlight the importance of planting other types of seeds that will attract visitors to your garden--- plants that will bring the bees to help pollinate the flower buds; to making sure that the birds who will be sure to stop on by to admire your bounty have a bird bath or two for a few sips of water while on their way.
With easy, short sentences for your beginning readers to get through, to the creatively thoughtful detail brought to this book by Ms. London and her talented illustrator, Christa Pierce , A Peaceful Garden will leave you and your little ones yearning for winter to quickly cease so you can join these kitties in creating your very own tranquil space.
