Award-winning Children’s Laureate Joseph Coelho and illustrator Fiona Lumbers have created a beautiful new title to add to their delightful series about Luna and the community she grows up in.
This time Luna shares her love of gardening. Working with her Dad and her grandparents in the community garden Luna not only learns about planting and tending plants to help them grow well but also about the importance of gardening for the insects who help to pollinate them. She also learns how plants come from all across the world and how each tells its own story.
By award-winning Children's Laureate Joseph Coelho, the fifth book in the Luna Loves... series brings alive the art of gardening.

Luna is wowed by her local community garden, there are squashes and runner beans, potatoes and tomatoes and even an apple tree. But each plant hides a story.
Grandpa and Nana show her the Callaloo their family grew in Jamaica. It’s time for Luna to grab a trowel and sow seeds that will tell a new story for the whole community as they all discover their connection to the entire world.
