April’s Garden is a beautiful picture book for ages 5-7 and has been shortlisted for multiple awards, including the British Book Awards Book of the Year 2024! 

This is a story for anyone who, for whatever reason, fears that home is an impossible dream. And April reminds readers that even when things feel impossibly bleak, there’s always something to hold on to. Hope.

April’s Garden features on the Marvellous Makers Book Collection!
