Book Awards for Rachel’s Day in the Garden
Rachel’s Day in the Garden, illustrated by Hazel Quintanilla, tells the story of the young girl named Rachel enjoying a wonderful spring day in the garden with her dog. Other creatures like a bee, a butterfly, and a caterpillar all share their secrets about healthy movement and play.
Feedback for Rachel’s Day in the Garden has been completely positive.
Amy B. recently said in a five-star review, “What a great way to get involved with exercising, especially yoga. A very inventive way to associate yoga poses with real things. Makes it fun for the kids, and they see it not as a form of exercise. The illustrations were bright and well-drawn. I think this is a perfect idea for children, and the possibilities could be endless with other exercise ideas. Kids will love this story!”
