The Newest Gnome
"When a new resident arrives at The Pocket, the gnomes gather together to help their new friend find their special skill."--
The Newest Gnome by Lauren Soloy is a beautiful ode to nature, mindfulness, and community. This delightful picture book about welcoming and belonging is perfect for fans of Little Witch Hazel by Phoebe Wahl.
Grolly Maru is The Pocket's newest inhabitant. They are learning all about their new home and all the things the gnomes do to care for it. But what will their job be?
As each gnome shares their role in The Pocket, Grolly becomes less and less sure about what they should do. But by the light of the full moon, inspiration strikes!
This gorgeous homage to nature, beauty, mindfulness, and community is a reminder to be present, and to care for and appreciate the world around us. It is also a delightful stroll through a special and strange yet ultimately familiar place first introduced in The Hidden World of Gnomes.

About the Author
LAUREN SOLOY has lived on both coasts of Canada, always within reach of the sea. She currently lives in Nova Scotia, in a house that is exactly 100 years older than she is, with her librarian husband, two curious children, an ever-expanding collection of books, two hives of bees and one grumpy cat. She has finally achieved her life goal of being able to walk through her yard, snacking on whatever fruit or berry is in season - a fact which, she figures, makes her an honorary gnome. She is the author and illustrator of When Emily Was Small and Tove and the Island with No Address, as well as the illustrator of I's the B'y- The Beloved Folk Song.
