Down in Mr. Brown's Garden
Barbara Henderson
Paperback
(Strategic Book Publishing, Oct. 14, 2009)
Children will enjoy the five short stories about ducks, hens, chickens and guinea fowl that live in Mr. Brown's Garden. The short parables will engage readers for hours as parents discuss the meaning behind the tales. All the stories use animals as reflections of the behaviour shown in people. Meet Mr. Rooster, who is extremely bossy, and Cally Hen, a very caring mother who closely watches her brood. Topics cover adoption, good and bad behaviour, accepting differences in others, tolerance and innocence. Mr. Brown's Garden is sure to become a favorite in every child's library. A grandmother, author Barbara Henderson enjoys working with young children. Originally from the United Kingdom, she now lives in Accra, Ghana, where she is a projects coordinator for a charity, but she will return to the UK in the near future.
