A charming first chapter book for ages 8+, and a delightful and engaging read aloud for younger children.

Garbzy is a warm, funny, and heartfelt story about a gentle goat who quietly tends the neglected garden of an old farmhouse. When a careless orchard worker destroys his home, Garbzy must find a clever-and unexpected-way to stand up for himself.

Garbzy, with the support of his loyal best friend, Ronnie, works through the problems that arise in ways that celebrate kindness, courage, and friendship without seeming preachy. Along the way, Garbzy discovers his true name and proves that even the smallest voice can make a big difference.

Told entirely from Garbzy’s hopeful and innocent perspective, the story invites readers to see the world through his eyes, creating an instantly loveable character children will cheer for. At its heart is the unbreakable bond between Garbzy and Ronnie-a friendship that gives the story its emotional depth and appeal.

Filled with gentle humour, Garbzy is a feel-good book that encourages empathy and reminds readers that small acts of kindness can have a powerful impact.

Written by Ian Munro, illustrated by Anton Rayner.
