So cozy & lovely! If I could choose a book to gift to a child, this would be high up on the list - it was an easy read, but I still loved it.

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a classic children’s novel about Mary Lennox, a lonely and spoiled girl sent to live with her uncle in the English countryside after her parents die. While exploring the estate, she discovers a locked, neglected garden and begins restoring it with the help of new friends, including her sickly cousin Colin. As the garden blooms, so do the characters—transforming through friendship, nature, and healing.
hopeful inspiring lighthearted

a delightful book that i never got around to reading as a child, but i felt my inner child beaming with every page turned. such a lovely story that makes me wish i could live inside of it

"If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden."

It's a simple story beautifully told, of two little kids who were each spoiled and bratty in there own way, yet i still fell in love with the them. I can't wait to read this again when my daughter is a little older.
