Status Updates From Grădina de la miezul nopții

I’m often amazed by the capacity of my 5 and 7 year olds to sit enraptured through pages of description. There is an entire chapter in this book which is a detailed description of a garden at night/dawn and this presented no problem for them.

I read this book for the first time in 1986 when I was studying Children’s Literature. It has remained a favorite.
I picked it up again today to read again as an older adult. I’m already transfixed. I’m also so pleased to see my own study notes penciled in on the flyleaf!
