Rosie wants a goal on the village green. Maisie wants a garden with a bench beneath a tree. Before long, two different ideas have become a whole village of crossed arms, and Rosie has hurt her best friend’s feelings. The Hartwells have a plan: put the kettle on, pull up more chairs and invite everyone to supper. But will anyone come? A story of crumbs, courage and finding the words to say sorry.

Saying sorryListening across a disagreementMaking room for others

A story to look forward to.

A little moment to read together.

A bright little leaflet arrived with the post and landed by Toby's half-honey, half-toast. "Our green needs a plan!" read the Mayor's new sheet. "Bring all your ideas to the hall down the street." "A goal!" Rosie cried. "We could practise till tea!" "A garden!" said Maisie. "With a bench by a tree!" "And somewhere for snacks," Toby said. "That sounds best." Pickle kept hoping for crumbs from the rest.
