The strength of this book is in the illustrations that create a beautiful and colorful design of a lovely garden of flowers, bushes, berries, and trees. A young boy listens to the sounds of the birds and watches the work of the snails, butterflies, and other insects and animals that visit here. His many questions are answered as he closely oberves the "life" in the garden.
End page provides ideas on how to "Make Your Own Quiet Garden."
This book is a reflection of Aliki's keen interest as a gardener, who, as her biography states, was afraid of worms!
