This book seems to be full of excitement and adventure. The title reminded me of the book "The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson Burnett, which is one of my favourites. This book has a fascinating plotline with adorable characters, beautiful scenes, mesmerizing illustrations, valuable themes, and heart-rendering lessons. It seems to be a complete dream book for kids. Deserves being BOTD.

"Adele and the Whispering Garden" seems entertaining and has just brought back my childhood memories of how I love spending time in the garden tending to it to make it beautiful. Children will enjoy this with the beautiful activities of Adele, Lulu, and Squiggle in the garden. Congratulations on BOTD!

The review is beautifully written. Integrating environmental issues into an engaging story for children is a great thing. The illustrations seem to add to the story. A useful theme and an enjoyable story make the book a good choice for BOTD. Congrats.
Life is hard on its own so let's make it easier for each other if we could.

Filled with beautiful illustrations, today's BOTD is a children's book that's both educational and entertaining. Young readers will love the adventure and fantasy aspects of the storyline, and parents will appreciate the life lessons. Thank you so much! I plan to share this with my niece. :-)

Thank you for the review. It is hard work to bring a neglected garden back to be productive. This is a lovely book for children; the story was sweet. The lessons are easy for children to understand and implement a project. The cover made me think of Christmas until I looked closely. the ivy vines on the pages were unique and beautiful. Congrats on the #BOTD.

What makes me want to read this book thoroughly is the simple yet powerful context where Adele has to start a journey to revive a garden. What adventures await her in the garden? What amazing lessons will the characters from the garden teach Adele?
