Annie’s father is afraid of grass. Fortunate then that they live in an
apartment block; unfortunate that Annie’s favourite colour is green, not grey.
One day on her way home from school Annie meets Rosemary and is invited into
the incredible edible garden.
She is introduced to luscious fruits and vibrant vegetables, taught
about the healing power of food and given lessons in making herbal teas. (The
yummy ideas made me disappointed there were no recipes in the book!)
When Rosemary’s birthday comes around, even Annie’s dad is persuaded to
go, if only to see the ‘overgrown wonderland’ he’s heard so much about. But the
spectacular event changes his mind—and he decides he’s no longer afraid of
grass. In fact, he wants a rooftop
incredible edible garden.
Simple, colourful illustrations bring this gentle story for preschoolers
to green-hued life. An obvious love of gardening pervades every page.
