For Our Younger Children...

This week’s book recommendation for our younger children comes from Mrs Darken and is called “The Extraordinary Gardener” by Sam Broughton.  

Mrs Darken writes:

This book is beautifully illustrated, with a real wow ending. It shows the power of plants and little ideas.

The FS2 children loved the book and have since started planting lots of different seeds. A book that visually demonstrates the power of community and how hope/joy can spread. I loved it!
