Book Reviews
Adam's Garden
‘Adam’s Garden won a Gumnut as an outstanding book in its class.’
‘Freedom is a gift to be cherished, whether it be freedom to think, to share or to be where you want to be. If you are in hospital that freedom must come through the imagination, and so it was with Adam. Although he is a small boy confined to a hospital bed, he can escape its confines by his mind taking him into his garden by the river with his animal friends. Isabel Tuck has written a book of great sensitivity and, dare I say it, great beauty. Her writing takes us all out of the mundane and into a world which we all want to be real. The illustrations add to the life of the story and allow the reader to catch a visual glimpse of Adam’s world. The book was written in response to Adam’s terminal illness, and proceeds of the sales go to supporting Child Health. Nevertheless, a book can’t stand on any thought of sentimentality, and this book—with its carefully restrained style—is rich in imagery and full of wonder. A book which will enrich us all and to be shared with the young and reflected upon by adults. Age: 6+.’ —JC

Solarium Fairies
‘Written with a major aim of profits going to help Child Health, this charming book tells the story of a young girl who takes her visions of fairies into the world of children’s parties. As with Tuck’s previous publication, Adam’s Garden, this book is meant to stretch the imaginations of young readers. The author does not leave the tale just to the imagination, however, but also adds recipes for preparing fairy cakes and fairy bread, so making the book interactive. Jenny Hull’s coloured pencil illustrations are vibrant and delicate, while at the same time they help to extend the story. Here is a small book to hold and enjoy, but best of all to share through reading to a young audience who can then go and try out the recipes. An ideal gift for birthdays, but also it should find its way into libraries. Sponsored by Kooringal Rotary.’—JC
Reading Time, Vol. 47, No 2
‘Solarium Fairies tells the story of Merry Anne and her encounter with an engaging group of fairies... recounted with all the charm of the oldest and best loved bedtime stories and nursery rhymes; and the superb illustrations perfectly complement the text.’—PH

My Happy Book
‘This uplifting book reinforces Isabel’s message of happiness and health. With themes like the importance of self-esteem, self-worth and individuality, as well as making the most of what you have been given in life, My Happy Book is designed for all young readers.’
Jane Gerhardy, ‘Good Health’, Daily Advertiser
