by Scott Magoon (Author), Scott Magoon (Illustrator)
A new picture book by bestselling illustrator Scott Magoon that is a loving example of a community supporting each other, even in the face of unprecedented circumstances.
Meet Gnome. He isn't your garden-variety garden gnome. He runs a small hotel for animals, and he works very hard at it. He spends his days fluffing, filing, and feeding the hotel's fountain fish. And his hard work was finally paying off! His hotel had become a place for small animals to stay for a night or two, and all the guests agreed that there was no place like Gnome's. But then the humans went too far and destroyed the forest that the bigger animals called home, so everyone went to Gnome's. He wanted to turn the bigger animals away, but where else would they go? So Gnome found a way to make room for everyone, despite the hotel being a little cramped. But when disaster strikes and damages the hotel, the guests are forced to find a new shelter. Gnome worries that all hope is lost until an unlikely guest encourages him to rebuild so that he can once again fluff, file, feed the fountain fish, and welcome guests back to Gnome's.Author Biography
