Lila's Sensory Garden

By Joanne Parkinson

Lila is a bright and curious girl who sees the world in her own special way.

While she is vision-impaired, her heart is filled with wonder for every sound, scent, and texture around her. On her weekend visit to her Grandma's house, she is pleasantly surprised to learn that there is a lovely sensory garden that has things to look at, feel, smell, and hear.

Along with her friend and Grandma, Lila embarks on a beautiful adventure of planting, watering, and exploring. There, she is able to feel the soft petals of a scented flower while listening to the relaxing sound of the little water fountain; each is a new experience to enjoy.

Lila's Sensory Garden is a story about inclusion and kindness, as well as the beauty of nature. The story sends the message that joy comes not from what we see but is found in how we feel and share our world with others. This adorable story inspires children to enjoy their senses, appreciate friendship, and find happiness in the smallest of life's moments through a gentle story and beautiful illustrations.

Lila's Sensory Garden is a delightful option for young readers, parents, and educators, reminding us that each person interacts with the world in their own unique way and that those differences can blossom into something remarkable through love and care.
