Bookseller recommendation
“This adorably quirky picture book features a Wednesday-Addams-like Millie Fleur settling in a new neighborhood with her family, and growing a big garden of delightfully strange and macabre plants in the yard. When the local HOA garden group finds out, they try to put a stop to it, but Millie rallies her school mates to help save her strange and wonderful garden. An eccentric ode to flying your freak flag and staying true to who you are, even if it is a little (or a lot) out of the norm.”
— Josh • Underground Books
Wednesday Addams meets The Curious Garden in this delightfully peculiar story about finding joy in being wonderfully weird.
Garden Glen is a very bland place. Every house and every garden looks exactly like the other. That is... until Millie Fleur La Fae comes to town.
Up on a scruffy hill, beside a ramschackle house, Millie Fleur plants her marvelously strange garden, filled with Sneezing Stickyweed, Fanged Fairymoss, and Grumpy Gilliflower. Millie Fleur finds it enchanting, but the townspeople of Garden Glen call it poison!
But Millie Fleur is proud of her beloved little garden. So if some townspeople want to be sticks in the mud, she'll take matters into her own hands and find the kindred spirits who appreciate everything the garden has to offer.
Millie Fleur's Poison Garden is a reminder to embrace everything that makes us wonderfully weird. Perfect for readers of The Creepy Carrots and fans of the Addams Family movies.
Christy Mandin is the author and illustrator of multiple picture books. She’s grown many interesting plants in her garden over the years but, so far, none with teeth or tentacles. She currently lives in Georgia with her husband and four children. Visit Christy online at christymandin.com.

Praise for Millie Fleur's Poison Garden:
"A girl plants a fantastical idea...This charming, low-key tale celebrates those who unabashedly find unconventional things exciting...No poison here; just a garden of delights about someone who improves things in a unique fashion."--Kirkus Reviews
