This was so wonderful! A hardback edition graphic novel all about gnomes and their hidden, secret, beautiful natural world. It is about the gnomes but also joy and the beauty of nature too.

The vibe is cute, cozy, warm and inviting, and it is like an encyclopedia of gnomes with pictures and information about their hobbies and enviornmental likes... it is adorable!

I loved this cover, the end pages, and all the illustrations are great. Some focus on the gnomes, others are about joy or nature, and enjoying the outside. Reminders to stop and look around and enjoy nature.

Overall it is super simple and whimsical but sometimes that is exactly what you need.

Other notes/thoughts - is this a UK author? I had to look up woody pig... aka rolly polly in USA.? Loved Twiggy dell - they are a craft hoarder and this made me laugh out loud.… (plus d'informations)

Eddy is the daughter of Charles Darwin. Her full name is Henrietta, but she prefers to go by Eddy. This book is about how she walks along the sand walk that her father walks, just to think. No one knows exactly what questions, Eddy and her father posed on these rocks, the author poses the question “are fairies real?”. The reader sees how Charles teaches his daughter to have an open mind and the way his daughter teaches her father that not everything is as it seems. Overall, this was a lovely book and unlike many nonfiction books, would be very easy to read at story time.… (plus d'informations)
