COME SEE US! We’ll be at the Louisville Book Festival, October 11
Join us in the Garden …
where life is blissfully cozy.
Our Tiny Garden Stories are the portal you’ve been searching for — the magical garden gate that leads away from the ordinary (and the doom-scrolling) … and toward a place of enchantment, where your everyday is infused with whimsy and delight.
What readers of Tiny Garden Stories are saying …
“I love little things. And there’s nothing quite so perfectly petite as these tiny garden stories. Jennifer offers us a little glimpse into her magical mind and backyard garden and for that, we should all be grateful. I love to read these myself, but I also enjoy reading them to my daughter because they are knee-high nuggets of enchantment.” — Emily
“Charming!”
— so many people
“This story reminds me of reading Beatrix Potter as a child, with its whimsical illustrations and characters sharing tea and treats, tiny homes inside trees and burrows, a little basket thrown over an arm, filled with flowers. Thank you for sharing these teensy snippets of imagination and joy. I look forward to every one.” — Kate
Read. Imagine.
All you have to do is read what you love: a favorite book; our Tiny Garden Stories; or the patterns of dappled sun and shade in the garden. The more you read, the more you’ll feed your imagination, and the more enchantment you’ll be able to find — and savor — in the world around you.
Escape to the Garden

What if it were easy?
It’s easier than you think to make each day cozier & more charming.
Picture this: You’re savoring a bit of cozy, quiet time and reading one of our Tiny Garden Story books … or one of our tiny tales.
You’re lingering over the words and the images they conjure; you’re charmed by the story.
You feel as if you could start purring, like a blissfully cozy house cat.
And you begin to look at the everyday world through a more imaginative lens, finding whimsy & delight & hope around every corner (which will help sustain you in dealing with everything else).
Children’s books & stories aren’t just for kids.
Did someone (or everyone) manage to convince you along the way to give up the simple pleasure — the wonder and delight — of children’s books because you were “too old”?
They were wrong.
No shame, no guilt.
If you used to love children’s books, there’s no reason to turn your back on them now.
Indulging in — and savoring — these sorts of stories is one of the simplest and best forms of self-care for your nervous system and your brain.
Just as it did when you were a book-crazy kid, your brain still wants — still needs — the familiar comfort and imaginative play offered by wonder-filled stories and the adorable characters that populate them. And make no mistake: many of these books & stories are as profoundly meaningful — are just as “important” — as anything written for adults.
Remember the enchantingly bookish days of your own childhood?
Sadly, many children may not get to experience this privilege, simply because they don’t have easy access to books. When families lack the resources, time, or reliable transportation that allow them to buy books or visit public libraries, children often miss out on the blissful mental “escape” that books can provide.
Hi there! I’m Jennifer, and I believe everyone, no matter their circumstances, deserves to experience the blissful escape that fiction offers: the comfort, the wonder, the endless possibilities — and most especially, the hope — that come from getting lost in a good story.
What if you could help just one child discover the bookish magic you remember so fondly?
And what if, at the same time, you could also rediscover the very same bookish magic — the enchantment, bliss, and comfort —that you thought you’d lost along the way? (Spoiler alert: you can!) 🤎
