Gnome Libri GmbH Gnome Grown: A PawPaw Possum Adventure

Every garden needs a gnome-and every gnome needs a story.Beside the sparkling bay, kind-hearted Mrs Koala runs Gnome Grown, a warm and wonderful little shop filled with colourful books and garden gnomes made lovingly by hand. No two gnomes are exactly alike, and each carries a special story of its own.Then Billy Bigshop arrives.Loud, boastful and covered in bling, Billy opens Better Gnomes right next door. With flashing signs, bargain prices and rows of identical gnomes, he quickly draws the townsfolk away. Worse still, Billy spreads unkind stories about Mrs Koala and does everything he can to put Gnome Grown out of business.But Billy's cheap, shiny gnomes are not quite as "better" as he claims-and a wild storm is heading towards the bay...With PawPaw Possum nearby to offer friendship and encouragement, Mrs Koala discovers that kindness, quality and community can weather even the fiercest storm.Gnome Grown is a warm, funny and beautifully illustrated story about supporting small businesses, thinking carefully before following the crowd, and recognising the love that goes into something made by hand.Part of the PawPaw Possum Adventures series, this delightful Australian animal tale can also be enjoyed as a standalone story. Perfect for young readers who love garden gnomes, charming shops, mischievous villains and satisfying comeuppances.There's no place like Gnome Grown.
