The Little Gardener by Emily Hughes

The Little Gardener by Emily Hughes

There was once a little gardener and his garden meant everything to him. He worked hard, very hard, but he was just too little (or at least he felt he was). In this beautifully gentle tale Emily Hughes, the celebrated author of Wild, departs from the larger than life Wild-girl of her debut to pursue a little-r than life Gardener, in a tale that teaches us just how important it is to persist and try, no matter what the odds. With ever delicately woven tapestries of illustrated magic, Hughes once again transports us to a world not unlike our own, but still brimming with fantasy and wonder.

The illustrations in this picture book are beautifully detailed and intricate and will delight readers over and over again-- BookTrust
Hughes's Rich, rhythmic storytelling voice and dark tapestry spreads carry a perennial magic. * Publishers Weekly *
It is a great book to make us reflect about what is really important in life and how do we nourish the love for these things. * fairyb.ooks on Instagram *
