“This book first of all is so nostalgic and special to me, I remember pulling this book out to look at the delicate work of each fairy, but I wanted to pick this up for spring and read it front to back and so that's what I did!
gave it 1 ⭐️ for the poetry (I did quite enjoy some of the poems but I'm just not a huge poem person, they were still beautiful though). And gave it 3 ⭐️ for the art. I absolutely adored the art in this book. Every single poem written for a flower or plant weaves itself into the beautiful art. The art brought this book to life, those fairies looked so real and that I might find them while taking a walk or digging in the garden.
"OPEN YOUR EYES!
To shop, and school, to work and play,
The busy people pass all day;
They hurry, hurry to and fro,
And hardly notice as they go
The wayside flowers, known so well,
Whose names so few of them can tell.
They never think of fairy-folk
Who may be hiding for a joke!
O, if these people understood
What's to be found by field and wood;
What fairy secrets are made plain
By any footpath, road, or lane-
They'd go with open eyes, and look,
(As you will, when you've read this book)
And then at least they'd learn to see
How pretty common things can be!"
This book really did make me go out to peek under the plants and flowers just like it promised.”
“An all time favorite 💛 Gorgeous illustrations and darling nature poems, this is such a special book to me. I’ve been going through a really hard time lately and picking up this beautiful book every night ended up being instrumental in helping me heal. I already loved flipping through it before, but now it’s something even more special than it already was.
Not only were the collections of books contained in this volume created by a fellow chronically ill person, but they are beyond charming and sweet. I actually read through every single poem! My favorites were the ones where you learn something about the plant, like how to boil the nuts so that they’re no longer poisonous to eat, stuff like that. But even when the poems didn’t stand out to me, the art still did. Truly, Cicely’s imagination is incredible!”
