Welcome to a magical suburban London garden, where extraordinary adventures unfold in the most ordinary of places!

Meet Arrow, the timid sparrow who dreams of being brave, and her clever sister Carrow, whose quick thinking might just save the day. Join Mrs Blackbird as she strikes up an unlikely friendship with Ginger the cat, and chuckle along with Robin as he ‘studies’ the curious behaviours of humans. From the boisterous starling gang to the philosophical crows, this garden is brimming with colourful characters and their heart-warming tales.

In this delightful collection of interconnected stories, you’ll discover:

– How a team of sparrows outsmarts a fierce sparrowhawk
– The secret ‘graduate studies’ of robins
– The annual hedge-trimming chaos and Uncle Sparrow’s hilarious drills
– A white cat with an uncanny ability to communicate with humans

From learning to face your fears to finding courage in unexpected places, these charming stories are perfect for young readers who love nature, animals, and a touch of magic in everyday life.

Dive into this enchanting world where leafy hideaways become classrooms, ordinary gardens transform into battlegrounds of wit, and tiny wings carry big dreams. Get ready for a heart-warming adventure that will have you looking at your own backyard with wonder!

In the leafy suburbs of London, Alice finds inspiration for her enchanting children’s stories in the most unexpected of places – her own garden. Her charming garden, teeming with wildlife, sparked a newfound joy in observing the daily lives of its tiny inhabitants. Through curious observation and imagination, she discovered that the ordinary English garden is, in fact, extraordinary. This delight in the magical world of animals became the heartbeat of her debut book.

Alice’s unique perspective allows her to see and relate to animals in special ways, bringing their world to life for young readers. Her keen observations and gentle storytelling give voice to the creatures in every ordinary English garden, inviting children to see the wonder in their own backyards.

With a head full of ideas for future books and an ever-growing appreciation for the small wonders around us, Alice is excited to continue bringing the joy of animal encounters to young readers everywhere, one story at a time.
