The Little Gardener
Author(s): Gerda Marie Scheidl
A classic title back in print!
George, the little gardener, is surprised when one of his beloved flowers is sad. The small daisy would rather be in the neighbor’s beautiful garden filled with lilies and roses than in George’s untamed yard. But when George assists her, she finds that things are not always as they seem. Bernadette Watts’ beautiful pastel illustrations bring magic to this heart-warming story by Gerda Marie Scheidl about the things that matter most.
Praise for Bernadette Watts
Little Red Riding Hood, “My what big talent she has!”—Kirkus Reviews
The Three Little Pigs, “A marvelous offering that begs to be added to everyone’s storytelling repertoire.”—School Library Journal
Review(s):
Originally published in Switzerland in 1985, this gentle picture book is quaint...Luminous, pastel drawings capture the contrast between the peaceful sanctuary of the pleasingly unkempt meadow and the forbidding formality of the neighboring garden.
The grass is not always greener in this simple, gentle, beautifully illustrated tale.
The story is simply told and beautifully illustrated in sunlit and moonlit scenes that contrast the regimented, formal garden with its wild, though lovingly tended, counterpart...Taken literally or as a fable, this picture book will appeal to children through its sense of empathy and its love of nature.
