Reviews
‘I love the sense of the seasons this book provides alongside a wealth of crafting ideas.’—Saffia Farr, Juno Magazine issue 52
‘For young children there is a sense of magic as they encounter these images, drawings and activities. Older ones will find creative projects suited to their skills and enjoyment. For adults also it offers a wide choice of craft, from tissue paper lanterns, a bee house and the old gnome, a May flower crown and lavender bags. The book aims to encourage everyone’s creative expressions.’—Judy Large, author of Festivals, Family and Food, from the Foreword.
