After seeing it in Indie Bound's Spring 2016 Children's list, I checked out The Night Gardener by Terry Fan and Eric Fan from the library.
It's a magical story of a gardener who comes and turns the trees into beautiful creations every night and the influence it had on a young boy. The illustrations are lovely. My six-year-old described them as looking like "real drawings and paintings." Which means like something you'd frame and put on the wall rather than cartoonish.
My children loved the story and the pictures. It feels like a bedtime story, one you should snuggle up under a blanket together to read. I recommend you at least check it out from the library, but it would make a beautiful gift book as well.
