Anna’s Garden

I’m giving this review as part of a blog tour.

A gorgeously illustrated picture book about a young girl and how she interacts with others.

A lovely simple rhyming system keeps the story moving along at a gentle pace without losing breath.

Anna is visited by some other people and animals and asked to participate in an activity that she’s not comfortable with, and rather than capitulating Anna is firm in the fact that she doesn’t want to take part.

But as part of Anna’s refusal there is an olive branch held out to each of the others and there is a beautiful ending where they all get together.

Sweet and beautiful throughout with such nice illustrations and a great take on friendships.
