London Mums‘ latest picture book of the week is Lady Bluebell and Her Magical Gardens. This is Teresa Biddle’s first publication, aimed at children aged from two upwards (or for young readers up to the age of 8 or so). 

The 40-pages book is a little masterpiece with lots of detailed pictures, painted by Teresa herself.  It celebrates a love of plants and animals, a true appreciation of nature – indeed biodiversity in terms which are understandable to children.

Lady Bluebell and Her Magical Gardens unlocks the mind to create the freedom of imagination and the excitement of her magical world and all its innocence and wonder.
