Plants Need Friends Too! by Jamie Walton

From social media superstar, and Sunday Times bestselling author and gardener, Jamie Walton, this charming picture book uses plant friendships to show how cooperation, kindness and growing together help everyone. 
 
From cheery sunflowers and shy little carrots to brave (but smelly) onions, each plant has its own strengths that help the vegetable garden thrive.   
 
But when Squish the squash plant sprouts and can't stop growing, the garden faces new challenges: can she find the right friends to help her fit in? And when sneaky beetles creep into the patch, munching leaves and causing trouble, will the helpful herbs come to the rescue? 
 
With teamwork, understanding and a little bit of magic from Mari the Marigold, the plant friends discover that everyone has a role to play and that plants, like people, need friends to be able to grow! 
 
Plants Need Friends Too! is a heartwarming adventure with companion planting techniques at its core.  
 
Complete with wonderfully whimsical illustrations by Rose Gerrard, this book teaches lessons from nature and shows that being a good friend – just like a good companion plant – means helping others.
