The fourth book in the Nanny Mihi series extends the nature connection from 2022’s Nanny Mihi’s Medicine, this time being all about gardening.
When her grandkids arrive for the spring school holidays, Nanny enlists their help to plant her garden. As they return each season, the kids see their labours bear fruit. By winter there is nothing in the garden, but the products of the harvest have gone into a soup that ‘tastes like spring and summer and autumn and winter’!
The fast-growing Nanny Mihi series is becoming a perennial for kids everywhere.
