A delightful story about being yourself, embracing differences, and sharing a love of plants. Upon moving to Garden Glen, Millie Fleur makes her new house her own by planting all sorts of wonderful plants. But her garden doesn’t fit the tidy aesthetic the community is used to. Can she show her neighbors just how wonderful weird can be?
Sweet story. Well told. Beautiful messages about not changing yourself for others and the acceptance and understanding gained through actually getting to know someone.
Lovely illustrations. I especially enjoyed the wordplay in the various plant names in Millie’s garden like sore toothwort and curdled milkweed.
A fun story, especially for fans of the Addams Family aesthetic.
