By Jack Henseleit
This dazzling story may seem like a set of instructions on how to brew a magic potion, the ingredients of which are familiar – mud, a leaf, some sand. But as the story unfolds, two children let their imaginations run wild as they take the reader on a glorious, lyrical journey outside.
Illustrator Natasja Horne's warm, lush exploration of the great outdoors will inspire and charm readers of all ages – and the most keen-eyed children will thrill at finding the mischievous pet lizard and other creatures on every glorious spread. Gorgeous, engrossing and unique, A Recipe for Magic Potion is a truly magical story that families will return to again and again.
