This is the book that cajoles the cadence, that caresses the colour and accents that alliteration to inspire the iridescent Isabella’s Garden. The seasons are sung in perfect poetry and illustrated with intrepid, intense vibrancy that shimmers like gemstones in sunlight.

The allurement of the accumulative, rhythmic verse harmonises perfectly with the rich images resulting in one of the outstanding Australian picture books of 2009.
