"A sweet, simple story about appreciating wildness in all its forms. This meditation on biodiversity makes its point with grace"--Kirkus Reviews

"This thoughtful tale of embracing biodiversity leaves plenty of room to open up insightful conversations with children into environmental stewardship and the many benefits of rewilding our gardens"--Ashley Nwokorie, Allotment Café

"Absolutely lovely. I love the way it gently demonstrates the importance of diversity in ecosystems (& communities) with wonderful bright illustrations of a flourishing and not-so-flourishing garden. I especially love the incidental inclusion of hearing aids on Ana, our gardener!"--Youth Libraries Group

"A wonderful picture book to help children learn about ecology and biodiversity and how through rewilding we can bring nature back to our gardens"--Babipur Book Club
