Poor Mimi spends hours and hours making her fairy garden completely perfect, but the fairies never come。 Whatever could she be doing wrong?

Just when she has given up all hope, some twinkling lights appear。 They’re here! And they are bringing an important message…

There's some thing delightful about a beautiful garden; tended and tidy。 However, it the wildly overgrown gardens that fairies prefer。 There's some thing delightful about a beautiful garden; tended and tidy。 However, it the wildly overgrown gardens that fairies prefer。 。。。more

'The Fairy Garden' by Georgia Buckthorn with illustrations by Isa Bancewicz is a picture book about a young girl trying to attract fairies to her yard。Mimi seems to have everything, but what she really wants is to have a fairy in her garden。 She tends and weeds and makes pathways with stones, but no fairies visit。 One day they do and they teach Mimi how to make a properly welcoming garden。It's a sweet story with a gentle lesson about making assumptions。 The artwork is equally sweet。 Included at 'The Fairy Garden' by Georgia Buckthorn with illustrations by Isa Bancewicz is a picture book about a young girl trying to attract fairies to her yard。Mimi seems to have everything, but what she really wants is to have a fairy in her garden。 She tends and weeds and makes pathways with stones, but no fairies visit。 One day they do and they teach Mimi how to make a properly welcoming garden。It's a sweet story with a gentle lesson about making assumptions。 The artwork is equally sweet。 Included at the end of the book are activities so young readers can make their own fairy garden (fairies not included)。I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - Ivy Kids, and NetGalley。 Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook。 。。。more

Thank you to Quarto Books for an ARC in exchange for an honest review。 The art is absolutely whimsical and lovely, and I really enjoyed the story about a little girl who takes care of her garden to make it more appealing to fairies, only to then learn that the fairies would prefer that the garden be allowed to grow wild!

A cute story about a girl that has a pretty much normal life。 She has a beautiful house and a loving family。 But she also has a secret wish: she want to finally meet fairies!She knows from her storybooks that fairies live in nature and love flowers and trees。 So she takes it upon herself to take care of the garden by watering the flowers, cutting the grass, putting medicine on the plants in order to kill the caterpillars and more。The days pass and still no fairies。 The little girl cannot take it A cute story about a girl that has a pretty much normal life。 She has a beautiful house and a loving family。 But she also has a secret wish: she want to finally meet fairies!She knows from her storybooks that fairies live in nature and love flowers and trees。 So she takes it upon herself to take care of the garden by watering the flowers, cutting the grass, putting medicine on the plants in order to kill the caterpillars and more。The days pass and still no fairies。 The little girl cannot take it any more and breaks down crying。 And then, the fairies magically appear! And they let the little girl know that despite them knowing that she has good intentions, her practices of keeping the garden as pristine as possible, are actually harmful to them and their pets caterpillars。 The fairies leave and the girl now knows that her garden can be just as perfect even when the grass is taller, even when wild flowers have appeared and so on and so forth。 And know her garden has become a beautiful home for the fairies。The last few pages of the book, are dedicated to an introduction at insects and plants that are often met in gardens and they also feature an activity of turning a flowerpot into a fairy house。I found this story to be very cute, with a clear enviromental message, but also a message about how always overthinking stuff and perfectionism can take away from what you are trying to do。 The illustrations were out of this damn world and I found the pages with the introduction to the insects and the plants to be very informative and educational and the activity to be a nice suggestion for quality time between children or between children and their parents/teachers/carers。If you made it this far, congratulations!'Til next time, take care :) :) :)I received a free e-book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Is your garden perfect? Is it even desirable for it to be so and what makes a garden 'perfect' anyway? This book explores just that, through a magical story about fairies。Mimi resolves to make her garden perfect for the fairies。 She busily tends to her garden, removing anything not up to her rigorous standards of beauty and applying chemical sprays。 She waits, but despite her best gardening efforts, she is frustrated that the fairies still don't move in。 Eventually the fairies reveal themselves。 Is your garden perfect?

Mimi steps back from over gardening and when the weeds grow back, the fairies return。In this charming story, the fairies are a stand in for the real wildlife in our gardens who do best if we avoid chemical sprays, allow insects to go about their business and let the weeds take hold。 Rewilding can happen anywhere, the humble back garden included。The ironic thing is, that the fairies were there before Mimi started with her misguided plans to perfect the garden and if you look closely, the fairies can be spotted all around the garden, hiding behind leaves, flowers and trees throughout the book。A totally stunningly illustrated book with a sweet story and an eco friendly message we can all learn from。In keeping with the eco theme, the pages are made of recycled paper and printed in the UK to reduce the carbon footprint。 Got to love 'ivy kids' for perusing the mission of publishing more planet friendly books!sent for review by the publisher 。。。more

An enchanting read about how sometimes our best intentions go awry and might not be as well-meaning as we think。。。 I love the message behind this picture book, filled with beautiful colours and illustrations。 The fairy-friendly gardening tips are such a nice touch!Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group and Netgalley for an ARC of this book。

Things I loved about this book:*Vibrant illustrations *Fairy-friendly gardening tips shared*Instructions to make a fairy house at the end。Mimi, described as a very ordinary girl, wanted fairies to come to her garden so she worked diligently to transform the garden into a meticulously weeded, watered, and manicured space。 She even made sure to have fairy houses for them to inhabit。 When she had done everything she could think of, and the fairies still didn't appear, Mimi began to cry。 And then th Things I loved about this book:*Vibrant illustrations *Fairy-friendly gardening tips shared*Instructions to make a fairy house at the end。Mimi, described as a very ordinary girl, wanted fairies to come to her garden so she worked diligently to transform the garden into a meticulously weeded, watered, and manicured space。 She even made sure to have fairy houses for them to inhabit。 When she had done everything she could think of, and the fairies still didn't appear, Mimi began to cry。 And then the unexpected happened。[Spoiler Alert] The fairies showed up and proceeded to give Mimi a lesson in proper respect for the environment。 It was at this point, I felt the book veered a bit too much into the preachy, we-interrupt- this-perfectly-lovely-book for an infomercial about planetary care。 Just felt very unnatural and quite honestly, took the magic out of the story。 In the end, Mimi was appropriately repentant and redid her garden into a more environmentally- (and fairy-) friendly space。 I do like the idea that a "perfect" garden does not have to be completely manicured and that having some untamed spaces can still be beautiful。 Disclaimer: I received a digital copy of The Fairy Garden from NetGalley for the purpose of review。 No other compensation was received and the opinions expressed are solely my own。 。。。more

This was a very cute story。 I liked how it explained how nature is really at its best when it's left alone and not pruned and sprayed with pesticides。 The illustrations were also gorgeous, and I loved all the colours that were used。 This was a very cute story。 I liked how it explained how nature is really at its best when it's left alone and not pruned and sprayed with pesticides。 The illustrations were also gorgeous, and I loved all the colours that were used。 。。。more

The Fairy Garden is sweetly illustrated children's book for children and parents who love gardening。 Mimi lovingly tends to her garden, hoping to attract fairies, but alas, they don't come。 Eventually they do come but with a message, her weeding and use of bug spray is killing the very "wildness" the garden needs to survive。 Mimi vows to do better with this new found knowledge。The illustrations are adorable and very fitting for the subject matter。 Although I love the message of the book, it is p The Fairy Garden is sweetly illustrated children's book for children and parents who love gardening。 Mimi lovingly tends to her garden, hoping to attract fairies, but alas, they don't come。 Eventually they do come but with a message, her weeding and use of bug spray is killing the very "wildness" the garden needs to survive。 Mimi vows to do better with this new found knowledge。The illustrations are adorable and very fitting for the subject matter。 Although I love the message of the book, it is perhaps slightly heavy handed。 The message that a bit of wildness and actual nature in our gardens is better for both animal life and plants is something that even a lot of adults don't realize, so it is a worthy message。 It may be a little deep for the youngest children, however。 On the plus side, it could stimulate informative side conversations。A really cute aspect of the book was at the end it explained how to actually make fairy houses。I enjoyed reading this beautiful book and would happily present it to any children in my acquaintance who have an interest in the outdoor world。Thank you to NetGalley, Georgia Buckhorn, and Quarto Publishing for allowing me to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

My daughter really enjoyed looking through them even if she doesn’t grasp the story yet (she’s one year old)。The story is simple enough for a child to understand and there isn’t a big takeaway from this story besides the fact that “perfect” looks different for everyone。 So I think this would be perfect for a good bedtime story for toddlers to enjoy。At the end of the book there’s also instructions on how to make your own fairy friendly garden and I really enjoyed that part。 I believe my daughter will really like that part when she grows older, a fun activity for us to do together。Apparently this book also has a very little carbon footprint which is always appreciated。 。。。more

Mimi spends every day tending her garden in the hopes that she will see fairies。 She removes unsightly leaves, and sprays to keep nasty bugs away。 It turns out that while fairies do appreciate a beautiful garden, they prefer that gardeners show a little more respect for Mother Nature。 I love the idea of using enchantment to teach little ones to appreciate the beauty of the outdoors, and to be good stewards of nature。 The ecological message is clear, without being heavy-handed。 Hopefully children Mimi spends every day tending her garden in the hopes that she will see fairies。 She removes unsightly leaves, and sprays to keep nasty bugs away。 It turns out that while fairies do appreciate a beautiful garden, they prefer that gardeners show a little more respect for Mother Nature。 I love the idea of using enchantment to teach little ones to appreciate the beauty of the outdoors, and to be good stewards of nature。 The ecological message is clear, without being heavy-handed。 Hopefully children will understand that fairies or not, magic is all around you if you just take the time to look。The gorgeous illustrations by Isa Bancewicz are a perfect accompaniment for Buckthorn's story。Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a chance to enjoy this one。 。。。more

I believe Pagan parents and caregiver's will find it especially lovely。 。。。more

A pretty little magical story! ^^We follow a young girl who dreams of seeing fairies and maintains her garden with care precisely for this purpose。 But maybe what she thinks she is doing well is distorted。。。A nice message on the preservation of nature, in a more restricted but also more accessible setting, the garden。I loved the drawing, which takes the form of very colored sketches。In short, to discover to make children want to create little fairy houses in the garden! ^^
