Rosie's Garden

Om boken

A little determination goes a long way in this inspiring story about creating green spaces and building community.

Rosie loves nothing more than to dig and spend time with people from her neighbourhood in the community garden. There’s Mr Dellagatti who collects seeds, Annika who plays the violin, and even Esmeralda the chicken who likes worms for breakfast!

But when the garden is sold to the Big Boss of a city company, Rosie looks on helplessly as it is destroyed and replaced by a towering skyscraper. Where will her friends from the garden go now? And what will happen to Esmeralda now that her home is gone?

It’s going to take some unexpected teamwork and a whole lot of bravery, but maybe Rosie can find a solution that makes everyone happy…

Rosie’s Garden is an inspiring story about preserving nature and standing up for the things that are important to us. Through simple prose and beautiful illustrations, it explores themes of environmentalism, urbanisation and community in a way that will engage younger readers and get

them thinking about the world around them, and the role we can all play in protecting it. Essential reading for any little ones interested in nature, buildings, the outdoors – and digging!
