It's finally that warm time of year when the flowers are beginning to bloom. In honor of that, this seemed like a great time to write a post about my favorite gardening picture books. The books are The Gardener, Miss Rumphius, and A Little More Beautiful. 🙂

My name is Annabelle, and I'm passionate about revealing the beauty and truth of stories all around us!
The Story of Mary Poppins
P. L. Travers' desire for the books was that not only would Mary Poppins become the practically perfect new nanny for the children, she would also have an effect on the whole family (the father in specific) that would be moving enough to bring them together.
The Country Bunny
Today, while I was flipping through a stack of old Easter books we keep in our attic, I found this wonderful treasure of a story. The Country Bunny, by Du Bose Heyward is one of my very favorite picture books for this time of year.
The Austin Family Chronicles, by Madeleine L’Engle
The Austin Family Chronicles has become one of my new favorite series over the last few weeks. I am amazed by the ability L'Engle has of weaving incredible stories that not only entertain, but also offer thoughtful insight at deeper, more meaningful matters.
3 Books to Read by Scott O’Dell
I certainly can't claim to have read all of Scott O'Dell's books, but today I thought I'd discuss the three that have stood out to me from the ones I have read.
Truths From Aslan
There are so many beautiful themes and passages to unpack from the series, but there is one thing that seems to be the heart of all the stories, and that is, of course, Aslan.
The Heroines of L. M. Montgomery
Doesn't Montgomery have a way of making you fall in love with her characters? 🙂 All of her heroines are inspiring and delightful, so I figured it was about time I wrote a post about them.
Audio Book vs. Hard Copy?
I read a lot, using both audio books and hard copies. Both have their strengths and their weaknesses, so today I've decided to weigh the differences between them.
Thoughts on Bad Books
Is there such a thing as a bad book? If so, what separates a good book from a bad one? Does the quality of a book matter, or am I too picky?
Classic Picture Books
A picture book can capture anything from the smallest moment to the biggest idea (and the best ones capture both), and a quality picture book is very valuable and significant in a child's life.
