My almost 2 year old son made me read this 4 times in a row. He was mesmerized by the illustrations.

Sentimental and wonderfully cute. And who doesn't love the fold-out panoramic ending?

Very lovely illustrations and a sweet, melancholy story. Way too mature for my toddler but one that we will read when he is a bit older.

Pretty illustrations--the green palette and the textures of the leaves are lovely. I enjoyed the use of the garden sculptures to tell the story of his grandfather's life.

Love this simple, sweet story. My 4 year old asks to read it over and over and then asks if we can make topiaries about our life. :)
