The Tiny Gardeners by Kat Macleod

Join the Tiny Gardeners as they grow fruit, vegetables, flowers and herbs for the upcoming Summer Market. See the long and bumpy beans! Taste the fresh and juicy strawberries! Feel the spikey rosemary sprigs! Smell the sweetly scented honeysuckle! Everything is almost ready to pick, but it’s a hot, humid day and the garden is looking dry and thirsty … just a moment … can you hear that?

Continuing the Tiny Professions series (The Tiny Explorers and The Tiny Tailors), Kat Macleod’s newest picture book, The Tiny Gardeners, navigates the process of preparing, growing and harvesting a productive garden through the five senses: sight, taste, touch, smell and sound.

This imaginative and charmingly illustrated story uses a range of verbs and adjectives to describe the process of preparing a garden bed through to harvesting. Young readers are invited to join in with the Tiny Gardeners and explore their senses as they learn how fruit, vegetables, flowers and herbs are grown. With mentions of pollination, bees, pests and the importance of water in a garden, The Tiny Gardeners will inspire a new generation of gardeners and nature enthusiasts.
