A Fun New Book of Garden Poems for Children

We received information in the last week about a fun new book of children's poems themed around garden called "The Gnome in My Garden." It was some creative we asked its author, Michael McCormick, to tell us their story. Here's the details…
 

We started Goofy Garden with the hopes of creating a fun, engaging book that kids and adults could enjoy together. Our goal is to create a series of books, and eventually a series of products, that ignites a sense of creativity and wonder when it comes to gardening and getting outdoors.

As mentioned, I grew up on a 10-acre berry farm as a child - and playing in the dirt with worms and weeds was a daily occurrence. Now, my two nephews (ages 6 and 8) live on a farm just down the road, and watching them grow giant pumpkins, raise animals like chickens, sheep and goats, and get into all kinds of outdoor shenanigans made it all the more fun to write the book.

Josh Cleland (the illustrator) is an artist who lives in my home state of Oregon. When I found him, I immediately fell in love with his hilarious illustrations. He has an incredible gift that allows him to breathe life into characters of all kinds, and to convey a tremendous amount of emotion in the simplest of objects. He has had a wonderful time working on these characters, and he will be providing illustrations for all of our future books in the series.

 Goofy Garden is currently an arm of our parent company, Bambini Book Club, who is dedicated to providing products to independently owned retailers across the country. Bambini's first children's book were originally published for the arts and crafts industry, and currently sell in over 500 independently owned retail centers throughout the Unites States. Because of the success of our early crafting books, Bambini is now providing a suite of products to accompany the books on shelves, and will continue to find more and more ways to get kids creating with their hands, and engaging in activities with their parents and grandparents.

 

Happy Reading!

Michael McCormick
