Roo and the Big Garden Redo

From the Set Tales of the Tiny Folk

The humans are redoing their garden! That means Tiny Folk friends Aco and Roo need to pack up their teensy garden-side houses until the work is complete. Aco is excited throughout the temporary move. But Roo is...not. He's a nervous wreck! Can the pair make it through the forest (i.e., the shrubbery) to stay with a neighbor? And when they return, will home still feel like home? In Tales of the Tiny Folk, follow along as itty-bitty creatures use creativity to thrive in a world that's not quite their size. With manga-inspired art and lighthearted adventure, young readers will snap up these super-cute graphic novels that are big fun!

SLJ Review of Tales of the Tiny Folk

Barros’s illustrations are bright and mangalike (which should attract young fans of that format). . . .The end of the book features a “Take a Closer Look” section with SEL-based discussion questions for caregivers or teachers to use to extend the story. ­A solid purchase for those seeking to enhance their SEL collections or where there are young manga fans
