Note from the Illustrator Cathy Quiel: Illustrating this delightful story by Joan Calder was a work of joy. Truly, I had so much fun designing and creating the garden environments, the bug critters and butterflies. I smiled my way through the creation of expressions and stances of the various characters in the book. It is my sincere wish that the pure joy I felt creating these characters in line and color is expressed and felt by those that view this wonderful children's story.
