Planting the Wild Garden is both beautiful and informative. It tells and show the story of how seeds are planting by wind, by birds, by water, and more. The illustrations are lovely, while also conveying specific information about how seeds travel and grow. This is also a book that gently shows humans in their place as co-inhabitants, co-nurturers of the Earth. At the end, readers will find a bibliography for further reading!
This is a lovely book about the seasonal transition from autumn to winter. The illustrations are beautiful and present a very loving Mother Earth. There are lots of details and surprises to find in these colorful pages, too.
This is a beautiful book, both in art and in story. It will inspire wonder!
For those intrigued by these subnivean animals, there are more details about each in the final pages of the book, as well as recommended further reading.
Enjoy!
