A Year in the Secret Garden is a treasure trove of activities, crafts, games, recipes and information all related to the classic children’s book, The Secret Garden, bringing to life this wonderful book to a new generation of readers. I cannot recommend this beautifully illustrated and detailed, information-packed book highly enough to parents, homeschoolers, teachers, and librarians. Ages 5+
What a beautiful book! The Waldorf Homeschool Handbook has given me much food for thought by reading it.

The Fox Diaries is a beautiful collection that brings nature and beauty to life with each turning of the page. I highly recommend this lovely book for adults and children of all ages.
