“A truly magical book. The book takes you on your own adventure where you create your own magical garden. It allows your child a safe space to share their ideas and talk about their feelings. My little boy has asked to read this book every night since I shared it with him. A fantastic starting point to introduce mindfulness to your child. I think we all need our own magical garden! I met one of the authors Jacqui at a book signing at my school. The children were inspired by her book and workshop and we have used it a lot in class since. Jacqui is very passionate about Mindfulness and creating magical gardens that the children can take themselves on. I highly recommend this book.”

“This is a wonderful book! My daughter asks for it time and time again (I think she and I know it almost off by heart now!) It is beautifully written and illustrated. It also gives an intriguing insight into how your child may be feeling. Each choice your child makes (to decorate their garden) symbolizes something different. This book empowers children and their carers too. It can be a great way to initiate a conversation about something that may be bothering them. Or at it's simplest level, it is enjoyable and fun to create your own magical garden. A must-buy as far as I am concerned...you won't regret it!”
