A gentle celebration of new life in the hedgerow, Poppy’s Babies is one of the most tender and heartwarming tales from Brambly Hedge.
When Poppy and Dusty welcome their tiny new babies, the mice of Brambly Hedge gather together in true countryside fashion — with warm blankets, home-baked treats, and loving care. As the seasons turn outside, inside the cozy tree-stump home everything is soft, bustling, and full of joy.
Jill Barklem’s exquisite illustrations are rich with delicate blossoms, vintage clothing, and charming woodland details — inviting children to linger, observe, and delight in the smallest treasures of family life.
This story beautifully celebrates:
• The sweetness of new siblings
• Community and friendship
• Gentle rhythms of home
• The comfort of tradition
A lovely addition to a nursery bookshelf, especially for growing families or little ones preparing to welcome a new baby.
