Lainey's Magical Garden
by
Lynda Mackay
When the sun goes down, the garden wakes up. Lainey’s garden is no ordinary garden. All the animals living there, from chipmunks to chickadees, are her friends—but that’s not all! All kinds of creatures come to life in this magical place, including a wise stone statue and a grumpy Scottish well. If you’re lucky, you might even cross paths with Welcome the fairy! These charming stories, delightfully illustrated with the author’s photographs, blend imagination and reality to create a homey yet magical world of friends. The friends have fun together, get into mischief, suffer disasters, console each other, and sometimes get annoyed. And just when you think you’ve met everybody, a visitor may appear through the magic gate . . . Lainey’s Magical Garden is a perfect read-aloud for children aged four and up.
As I got to know Lynda, I was most intrigued and impressed with her photographic works and her imagination that allowed her to begin the story of Lainey’s Magical Garden. Lynda is able to capture nature at its best within her photographs that truly do come alive. I was thrilled to learn that Lynda was considering writing stories about the characters in Lainey’s Magical Garden. These wonderful unique fables, caught the interest of my grandchildren, ages five and eight leaving them wanting more of Lainey’s Magical Garden, and I must admit, myself also! Kind regards, Sandy
Lynda Mackay was born and educated in Edinburgh, Scotland. She has travelled through Europe extensively and loves cooking, photography and music. Lynda moved to Canada eight years ago and now lives in Cambridge, Ontario. Her property overlooks the river, where she enjoys watching the many birds and animals that live nearby. Lainey’s Magical Garden is Lynda’s first book, inspired by a visit to her friends’ country property. “I was so inspired by their large, lovely garden—it is a truly magical place,” she says. “After taking photographs of it I realized I could write stories about all the animals and others who make the garden their home. And once I started, I couldn’t stop!” Lynda is looking forward to reading Lainey’s Magical Garden with her young grandson in Scotland when he’s a bit older.
