Finding a place in the Pocket

Grolly Maru is the Pocket’s newest inhabitant, learning how its gnomes care for their home while wondering what role might be theirs. As each gnome describes their work, Grolly’s uncertainty grows; a full-moon moment brings inspiration. The story links belonging with attention to the natural world and the shared work of caring for a home. It also returns to the special, strange, yet familiar place introduced in Lauren Soloy’s *The Hidden World of Gnomes*.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy fairy-tale worlds and gnome stories.
  • Families seeking a picture book about belonging, community, and caring for nature.
  • Readers familiar with *The Hidden World of Gnomes*.

Book overview

A beautiful ode to nature, mindfulness and community, Lauren Soloy delivers a delightful picture book about welcoming and belonging 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 is 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, but it's also just a delightful stroll through a special and strange yet ultimately familiar place first introduced in The Hidden World of Gnomes.
