A captivating and imaginative picture book takes readers on a delightful journey of a young girl named Funni who transforms an abandoned car park rooftop into a vibrant garden filled with colorful blooms and cherished friendships.

Funni, with her infectious enthusiasm for the old, disused car park, spends countless hours there, reveling in the thrill of kite flying and the melodies of her recorder. However, there is a sense of longing that pervades her heart, as if something is missing from her life. Determined to bring joy and fulfillment to the neglected space, Funni sets out on a mission to create a garden in the sky.

With unwavering dedication, she toils tirelessly, nurturing the soil, planting seeds, and watering the plants with care. Weeks pass, and as the garden in the sky takes shape, a remarkable transformation occurs. The once barren rooftop is transformed into a vibrant oasis of color and life.

One fateful day, a curious little boy named Zoo stumbles upon the square of color amidst the grey of an incoming flight. Intrigued by its beauty, Zoo sets out on a mission to find its source. As he explores the car park, he encounters Funni's garden, and his eyes light up with wonder.

The two children form an unlikely friendship, bonded by their shared love for nature and their determination to create something special. Funni's flowers bloom with renewed vigor, and the garden in the sky becomes a symbol of hope and possibility.

Beautifully illustrated in vibrant line and watercolors by up-and-coming talent Fiona Lumbers, this poignant and memorable story is penned by award-winning author Linda Sarah. It explores the power of imagination, the beauty of friendship, and the transformative impact of nurturing both the physical and emotional world.

Through Funni's journey, readers are invited to embrace their own creativity, explore the wonders of nature, and recognize the potential for meaningful connections in even the most unexpected places. The garden in the sky serves as a reminder that even the smallest acts of kindness and determination can bring forth extraordinary results, transforming lives and fostering a sense of community.
