I am not sure what was more enjoyable - the beautiful illustrations, the clever names of the gnomes, the very cozy and quiet story. My kids loved this, and I imagine this is a book that we will be reading over and over.

(Irish Folk Story) 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! A 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.

I received a complimentary e-copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you, Tundra Books, Penguin House and NetGalley.

Lauren Soloy is an author that I will pick up no matter what she writes and this one was no different. I love her art and her stories. They make me feel like a child and see the world through a more magical and wondrous lens. Don’t sleep on Lauren, adult or child it’s worth it to pick it up!
