I recommend it for the story and charming graphics. Relaxing, time killer and good for kids too.
The high quality graphics really reflect the work that has been put in the making of the game. Nice work team!

Be advised though:
! The world creating mechanism can be summarized as a rinse and repeat grind.
The worlds are suspended islands, different from each other only by biome.
That "nurture a deep natural connection" is composed of 8 actions: seed, water, cut, pull, chop, hammer, fish and catch bugs. Over and over again. You can only choose your biome and then you have no control of the layout of the world, plants that are there or anything. If you want to plant something in a spot, it cannot be done. You can only plant a seed where you are showed. From there you can only do the 8 actions where indicated.

Now about the story. It is nicely crafted, my many hours of playing are because of this. But not because of how long the story is, more because of how much walking is needed, the puzzles themselves are walking around and putting objects in their place. I admit that my soft spot was that the tree reminded me of Yggdrasil. The Evertree was interesting.
Unfortunately, the writing falls when it comes to characters. The objects (ex: Coppertop and Book) are more interesting than the people you encounter. There are also some romance options, one-dimensional. The best romance story was had by my bird mount. Let me recap it, too dear not to (spoilers ahead):

I named my bird mount, Kazumi. I fed her and gave her lots of cuddles and hearts. We bonded and the pot praised my wisdom of befriending the one who I will count on to fly thousands of feet in the sky and not drop me. Fair enough. Gave her more cuddles, food and hearts. One day I woke up to see that she was being courted by another bird. The very very short cutscene reminded me of the song Is This Love by Whitesake. They fell in love. After several days, I woke up to see lots of eggs in her nest. And after many more days, my Alchemist Grotto had lots of tiny full of cuteness baby birds that resemble Kazumi. And all the birds formed a happy family, only separated occasionally when I actually needed the mount to transport me. Love is in the air, no distance shall break it. <3
The End. ':D

Now I can proudly say I have baby pokemons in my garden.
