Each creature in the garden has something special to offer, but what about a slug?

Slow, slimy and greedy, Herb wishes he could weave shimmering webs like spiders, or create wonderful underground worlds like ants. But when his lonely night-time wanderings through the garden take him up to the treetops, he and the other creatures are astonished at the beauty he has created. Spotting spreads, plus helpful hints on how to look after the creatures in your own garden, add to this non-fiction inspired tale.

A stunningly-illustrated story about recognising your talents and celebrating each individual, this is a beautiful picture book by the author and illustrator of The Night Flower.
