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, urbanization 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!
