Reach for this book when your child seems to have lost their spark or when you want to nurture the quiet magic of independent play.

Sophie's Garden follows a young girl whose ordinary backyard transforms into a sprawling, fantastical kingdom through the power of her own mind. This story celebrates the emotional themes of curiosity and the joy of being present in nature. While Sophie encounters tiny winged friends and botanical wonders, the true magic lies in her agency and creativity.

Parents will appreciate how it validates the importance of slow, unstructured time in a fast-paced world.
