“Through the Garden Gate effortlessly transforms an ordinary day into a magical exploration, blending scientific detail and fairy-tale wonder in a beautifully layered tale. My 2‑ and 6‑year‑old were absolutely entranced—from curious critters to glowing moonflowers—making this a story we read over and over.”

“A Must-Read for Nature-Loving Kids (and Grown-Ups Too).
I absolutely loved Through the Garden Gate. It’s whimsical, wise, and full of heart. Sharon Rose has created a world where fairies, talking trees, and everyday weeds come together to teach kids about curiosity, courage, and the quiet magic of nature.
As someone who works in gardens, this book really moved me- it’s playful and imaginative, but also gently educational in the best way. The illustrations by Erin Brown are lush and joyful, and the whole story feels like a love letter to the natural world.
This is a must-read for any child (or grown-up!) who’s ever felt wonder in a garden. I’ll be gifting it often.”
