Good review! The book sounds charming. Usually, children are adverse to change, but Adele looks at it as a challenge and exploration.

Adele and her family move to a new home. Adele is responsible for improving the garden outside her bedroom. Two characters, Squiggle and Lulu, help her. She is motivated and learns about caring for the environment.

Nature building and enviromental care is a collective responsiblity for everyone living on earth.
This will make it more habitable for us.
'Adele and the Whispering Garden' by Polly Richard is introducing environmental issues to children at early stages of life. The illustrations will also be very useful to them, it will ignite creativity in them.
I recommend the book to all children and even adults who want tips on gardening.
Thanks for the review.

In the world today, where technological gadgets have taken over, parents should know that it's never too late to teach their kids to read books (even pdfs). Books like this sync well with kids adventurous fantasies and most importantly teach them how to care for their environment.

It's a lovely book!
Congratulations on becoming BOTD!
