Description

A young girl and her family travel from the city to the country to celebrate her grandmother's birthday. Someone suggests that Arianne, as the only child at the party, might enjoy exploring the garden more than listening to the adults chat. Arianne is unsure what to do in the quiet garden, and she soon lies down out of boredom. But then she spots a pebble . . . and a grasshopper . . . and flies away on a dandelion seed pod into the cosmos as she discovers the freedom of her imagination.

With very little text, this book lets the illustrations tell the charming story of a child carried away into a world much bigger than herself.

I love, I love, I love these illustrations! And the simple and funny text! It was such a pleasant experience to read this book. It tells the story of Anne, a young girl who is invited to her grandmother's birthday -Exciting!- except that she is the only children and that she has no one to play with... Arianne is offered to enter the mysterious garden of her grandmother, and from then on, a lush and vibrant adventure in the micro and macro worlds begins.

I would easily buy this book as a gift to picture book lovers. It's a very dreamy, funny and relaxing experience to read this book, all at once!

The Invisible Garden was such a breathtaking picture book that we can not help but to fall in love with this book. The book captivates and reflects such a strong message that it is brilliantly done with such colorful pictures. All of our young patrons will go crazy for this picture book and we can not wait to show it to them.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. We will definitely consider this title for our J Picture Book collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars!

This book has the most beautiful illustrations!

There isn't much in the way to read, but the pictures do a masterful job telling a story all on their own, of a little girl going to visit her grandmother's house, and ultimately finding herself bored.

That is until she visits her grandmother's garden.

Filled with imagination, and adventure, this book certainly calls to the child in all of us, with visual images that entice you to stay with each page just a bit longer. Themes include play, imagination, and discovery outdoors. Loved it!
