Editorial Reviews:

"Ina Curic's brilliant tale of how a young girl can take gigantic steps in making the world more environmentally friendly, starting with her own back yard, is one of the most positive I have read to date. Not only does Mirabelle's Forest Garden tell an interesting and exciting story, but the educational value it provides knows no bounds. Information about beneficial plants, landscapes and the animals which can enjoy the bounty of it all is vast, not only in illustration, but also with extensive information about each. People around the world can easily benefit from this book, which appeals not only to children but to adults alike." Rosie Malezer for Readers' Favorite
