A Julia Eccleshare Pick of the Month March 2024
Award-winning Children’s Laureate Joseph Coelho and illustrator Fiona Lumbers have created a beautiful new title to add to their delightful series about Luna and the community she grows up in.
This time Luna shares her love of gardening. Working with her Dad and her grandparents in the community garden Luna not only learns about planting and tending plants to help them grow well but also about the importance of gardening for the insects who help to pollinate them. She also learns how plants come from all across the world and how each tells its own story.
