Books Included in This Collection:
How to Grow a Mermaid
A curious customer seeds a mermaid garden, and Sarah’s shop becomes a hive of seaside whimsy. Yet a sugary misstep sends vines sprawling through the town, turning streets into tidal ribbons of colour and chaos. The story celebrates inventive problem-solving as the community rallies to tame the tide of merriment, with a gentle reminder about balance and care in nurture—whether growing plants or friendships. Fun, fast-paced, and brimming with sea-sprayed laughter.

How to Grow a Unicorn
In a garden-daydream turned glittering whirlwind, Sarah’s gift for her grandma invites a unicorn parade into the yard. What starts as a sweet surprise becomes a sparkling cascade of growth and giggles, with rhymes that bounce off Lenton’s lively illustrations. The tale balances fantasy with warmth, underscoring the joy of giving while teaching patience and the wonder of believing in the extraordinary—even in everyday spaces like a back garden. A joyous celebration of family, imagination, and lighthearted mischief.

How to Grow a Dragon
A delivery of dragodil seeds sparks a dragon-tastic opportunity to stock helpful pets for customers. But these fiery creatures soon test limits with smoke and scuffles, threatening to melt order into chaos. Sarah and Mr Pottifer navigate the spark of responsibility, proving that care and teamwork can tame even the most rambunctious dragon. Bold moments of humour, warm teamwork, and a reassuring message about looking after creatures big and small drive this tale forward with delighted energy.

The Drama Llama
Alex worries about looking silly or saying the wrong thing, and a real llama materializes whenever anxiety rises. As worries swell, so does the llama, creating funny, mischief-filled consequences that mirror real feelings. This story tenderly unlocks anxiety and resilience, offering accessible coping ideas within a playful, reassuring framework. The llama’s antics become a charming metaphor for managing nerves, ideal for bedtime or classroom chats about emotions and confidence.

The Truth About Yeticorns
Bea’s small fibs unleash a cascade of chaos—muddy fairy-cats, soggy octoponies, and a towering Yeticorn who gobbles sweets and sneezes confetti. The brisk pace keeps hands turning pages while the gentle moral about honesty lands softly. It’s a celebration of imagination with a wink at the consequences of small deceptions, paired with empathy and humor that encourages readers to choose truth with kindness.

The Crossodile
Hayden loves games, ice cream, and his pet lizard—until a surge of frustration turns the lizard into a colossal Crossodile. The story tackles big feelings with warmth and whimsy, using the creature’s over-the-top antics to model healthy anger management. Rich, energetic illustrations amplify the action, making this a memorable closer to the set and a lively discussion starter about self-control and compassionate reactions.
