Jenny Bloom is credited as co-author or collaborator of the children’s book The Wonder Garden, alongside Kristjana S. Williams. The Guardian gallery identifies both as creators of the book, showcasing animal illustrations from its pages.
The Wonder Garden was published under the Wide Eye Books imprint and uses richly detailed illustrations and text to introduce rainforest and wildlife scenes to young readers.
The Guardian refers to the work as “The Wonder Garden by Kristjana S Williams and Jenny Bloom” in its 2015 children’s-books gallery.
