Description

There's a special place for Nonna and me, for friends, for pets, for family.
When we go, it's a busy day,
we talk, we dig, plant seeds and play.
We join our friends, share the load,
in the community garden ... on Red Gum Road.


Phil Cummings' text sings off the pages and will be a favourite for early learners to predict and recite.
Danny Snell's illustrations provide opportunity for a broad range of conversations including friendship, the environment and togetherness.
