Gardens and Flowers

Book-loving Lulu is inspired by a collection of garden poems that she reads with her mommy. She wants to plant her own garden of beautiful flowers.

She and Mummy go to the library to check out books about gardening. They choose their flowers and buy their seeds. They dig and plant. And then they wait. Lola finds it hard to wait for her flowers to grow, but she spends the time creating her own flower book.

Soon she has a garden full of sunflowers and invites all of her friends for cakes and punch and a story amongst the flowers.

The style and message to this book is so simple and sweet and made me want to take my son outside immediately afterward to plant our own garden. – Heather Dent Blogspot

Absolutely charming – both words and pictures are full of warmth; and as always Lulu is such a good advocate for books and libraries. Would that every young child had parents like her ready to encourage and support all those activities that are so important for young children – reading, writing, growing things and developing their creativity. – Jill Bennett
