Frances Eliza Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden is a timeless children's classic following three young people who discover a hidden, neglected garden and restore it to beauty. Through the garden's transformation, Burnett explores themes of healing, friendship, and the restorative power of nature. The novel becomes a meditation on how connection and care can transform both places and people, showing that growth and renewal are always possible.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Burnett understood that gardens are more than plants, they're metaphors for the human capacity to heal and grow. This classic reminds us that the best children's literature speaks to something true about what we need to thrive.
