The Curious Garden

Described as “one boy’s quest for a greener world,” The Curious Garden by Peter Brown, is a lovely way to promote caring for the environment. Liam’s journey around his decaying brown city and his passion to transform it is just that. You won’t find a how-to guide, a message that sounds more like preaching or warnings that intend to scare children about the dangers of ignoring what goes on around us. The easy-going environmental theme is backed by vibrant illustrations of Liam’s new green world. $12
