Honey Gnomes Best
A children's book series about adventure, friendship, belonging and the magic hidden in school gardens.
How we started.
Honey Gnomes Best is a children's book series about a magical community of gnomes — 2 to 3 inches tall — who tend the world's gardens while everyone else is asleep. By day they rest. By night? They roll their Micropolis through the moonlight, pull on their glowing yellow shoes, and get to work.
At the heart of it all is Asali - brave, curious, and a little bit impulsive. She follows her wonder before she follows the rules. Her lavender eyes glow when something magical is about to happen. And something magical is always about to happen.
Together, they are the Honey Gnomes. And they are on a mission.
These are stories about friendship, nature, ancestry, and the kind of magic that grows when children are given the truth — and trusted to carry it
Why it matters
Somewhere between the roots of a great palm tree and the edge of a moonlit raised garden bed, a tiny world is waking up. Red hats bobbing. Yellow shoes glowing. And one very brave, very curious little gnome named Asali is leading the way.
Every Child Deserves
Honey Gnomes Best was born in a real school garden in Galveston, Texas - where real children got their hands in the soil and discovered that growing things is its own kind of magic. The characters are multicultural, the history is real, and the adventures are the kind children beg to hear again.
To See Themselves
Asali looks like the children who need her most. Her crew looks like the world. And Shangazi Nan? She sounds like the grandmother every child deserves to have.
