Mom's Review
Anyone who has dreamed of a secret hideaway will be captivated by The Glasshouse. It is like an urban conception of The Secret Garden - Helen discovers a conservatory on the grounds of an abandoned industrial park. Cultivating the withered plants and tending to the overgrowth, she creates a paradise she shares with other children who discover the glasshouse and delve into the gardening. A mood of pure joy emanates from this French picture book as the reader gently turns the intricately laser-cut pages. This parent loves the values of collaboration, rehabilitation, and stewardship of the natural world conveyed against a brilliant backdrop. Opening The Glasshouse is like entering a secret paradise.
