Official synopsis Publisher
A beautiful ode to nature, mindfulness and community, Lauren Soloy delivers a delightful picture book about welcoming and belonging for fans of Little Witch Hazel by Phoebe Wahl.
Grolly Maru is The Pocket’s newest inhabitant. They are learning all about their new home and all the things the gnomes do to care for it. But what will their job be?
As each gnome shares their role in The Pocket, Grolly is less and less sure about what they should do. But by the light of the full moon, inspiration strikes!
This gorgeous homage to nature, beauty, mindfulness and community is a reminder to be present and to care for and appreciate the world around us, but it’s also just a delightful stroll through a special and strange yet ultimately familiar place first introduced in The Hidden World of Gnomes.
