Synopsis

What a pleasure it is to re-present Sharon Lovejoy's SUNFLOWER HOUSES for a new generation of children and parents. A magical book of adventures and appreciations written and illustrated by the author of ROOTS, SHOOTS, BUCKETS AND BOOTS, this award-winning title was published by a small press in Colorado in 1991; sold 50,000 copies and after it went out of print, lived on as something of a cult classic. The reviews say it all: "A fetching primer on gardening for children...Irresistible" Smithsonian. "What child, or indeed adult, would not be delighted? (Lovejoy's) recollections are wonderful, as are the illustrations." - Victoria. Celebrating the lore of the garden and the joy of interacting with nature, SUNFLOWER HOUSES is a unique garden lover's miscellany, a collection of memories, poems, activities, garden plans, crafts, botanical riddles, stories, games and planting projects. There are inspirations for a Floral Clock Garden, A Child's Own Rainbow, Faerie Tea Parties and, of course, the Sunflower House. Plus, from garden lovers, stories of favourite flowers. Throughout there are the artist's warm and appealing watercolours of a life in gardening remembered.
