Night Gardener
Night Gardener | Terry Fan
13 posts | 19 read | 14 to read
In the spirit of "Goodnight Moon" and "The Curious Garden" comes a stunning debut picture book filled with whimsy and creativity from brothers Terry and Eric Fan. One day, William discovers that the tree outside his window has been sculpted into a wise owl. In the following days, more topiaries appear, and each one is more beautiful than the last. Soon, William s gray little town is full of color and life. And though the mysterious night gardener disappears as suddenly as he appeared, William and his town are changed forever. With breathtaking illustrations and spare, sweet text, this masterpiece about enjoying the beauty of nature is sure to become an instant classic."

Last year, the Barnabus project won the #WCCPBA. So my students want more. This arrived as a donation. I used it as a bonus #readaloud in my library yesterday. 😍 such a beautiful read #underthedustcover

A lovely children‘s book about a small town coming to life after discovering topiaries in their trees each morning. I loved how the book started with colour only on the trees and then by the end the people and town were very colourful as well. My three year old really enjoyed this and asked to leave it beside her bed for tonight as well 4🌟

Swe_Eva Those illustrations are simply beautiful. 💜 6y
Traci1 This looks lovely. I'm going to have see if I can find this for my 3 year old. 6y
Chellebearss They were lovely and I think I‘m going to have to buy a copy of this one :) @Swe_Eva @Traci1 6y

My super sweet neighbor, Eliza Wheeler, is an amazing artist and newly minted Sendak Fellow. She knows that I have been a fan of the Fan Brothers since they started posting on Society6. Guess who her fellow Fellows were...yep, The Fan Brothers. They were kind enough to send a signed copy of their book home with Eliza. Squeeeeee! Littens are the only ones who won't 🙄at my #fangirl freak out.

LauraJ I know there are a lot of #Tolkien fans here. This is the latest published book Eliza illustrated. 7y

slhbooks This looks wonderful!! Might have to use my B&N coupon for this one🌳🌳🌳 7y
Lindy @lynneamch Cut it into any animal shape you like; I'm sure the kudzu will just get more vigorous. 7y
Lindy @Graciouswarriorprincess Yes, aren't they wonderful? 7y
Lindy @batsy @Lcsmcat @slhbooks The Fan brothers are a great pair of artists who work collaboratively. 7y
Hobbinol I wish my trees could be pruned like that! With the help of a gentle breeze they purr anyway😊 7y

Today's library haul! All were on my list except for Library at Mount Char, which just sort of jumped into my hands. Plus my former boss/favorite librarian gave me some recommendations for next time, which is always awesome!

Mayread Mount Char is magic that way. 🌟💫⚡️💥 8y
