There was once a little gardener and his garden meant everything to him. He worked hard, very hard, but he was just too little (or at least he felt he was).
Emily Hughes was born in Hawaii, USA but lives and works in the United Kingdom. She is inspired by Chinese cinema and illustrators such as Blair Lent and Gyo Fujikawa. Her work has been exhibited across the capital and her book Nana Shaped Like a Banana came second in the 2012 Macmillan Prize for Children’s Picture Books. Her first picture has been highly successful in bookshops and libraries across the US and UK.
The illustrations in this picture book are beautifully detailed and
intricate and will delight readers over and over again.
*BookTrust*
Hughes's Rich, rhythmic storytelling voice and dark tapestry
spreads carry a perennial magic.
*Publishers Weekly*
It is a great book to make us reflect about what is really
important in life and how do we nourish the love for these
things.
