The Happy Garden – Printable Picture Book About Sharing for Kids (12 Scenes, Ages 2–7)

An 18-page printable picture book about helping each other, illustrated from a young artist's real paintings.

When the flowers droop and the wind shakes the birdhouse, Mama Duck, Pip, Toast, Dot, Ginger the cat, Blue the bluebird and the bees Bee & Buzz find out that nobody has to do everything alone.

The story started with four paintings by Bun Bắp, a young artist. Each scene was digitally reimagined from those originals, and the book puts the painting next to its page so children can see how a drawing turns into a story.

What is inside

12 story scenes with a clear beginning, problem and happy ending.

Meet the Little Artist and Meet the Garden Friends, with names and personalities for all seven characters.

From Painting to Page: the original paintings shown side by side with the finished book pages.
