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!”
— multiple readers
“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 nurture your imagination, and the more enchantment you’ll find — and create — in the world around you.

What if it were easy?
It’s easier than you think to make each day cozier & more charming.
Picture this: You’re indulging in a bit of cozy, quiet time to read one of our Tiny Garden Story books … or a single cozy minute to read one of our tiny tales.
You’re savoring 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 remember: Contentment really is as close as your favorite books.
No must-read lists.
No awkward book-club discussions.
No guilt.
When you find a few quiet minutes in your day, the last thing you want to do is required reading.
Some days, you may not feel like reading anything, so you certainly don’t want to spend precious time keeping up with an arbitrary reading goal. And, despite what you may have heard elsewhere, that’s okay!
We don’t believe in must-read lists or even in traditional book clubs.
Here’s what we offer instead: tiny stories full of calm, cozy vibes, and permission (not that you really need it) to enjoy reading your favorite books and stories, on your terms, and — for those times you don’t feel like reading at all — to find moments of calm contentment in the garden or the forest, or even in the steam curling up from a mug of hot Earl Grey.
Do you remember the enchantingly bookish days of your 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!) 🤎
