What a super adoragnome book! I'm obsessed with gnomes and once I saw this book at work I knew I had to read it.
The plot sort of reminded me of Edward Scissorhands, but that's ok :)
The artwork is really cute and simple. Definitely perfect for the story!

I love gnomes, and I'm glad that there's a picture book out there, but man, it seems hard to do gnomes well. This is more of a beard appreciation story than anything else... but I did really like the illustrations, even if the story was a little odd.

Cute and I loved all the wordplay. My biggest complaint is just a systemic complaint of competitions being a major plot device in picture books, but oh well.

Fun message about finding your own talents, have some fun play on words with beard/mustashe humor. Some of the pages the text is chaotic and does not flow well. Fun illustrations.

An extremely wholesome and beautiful little book. The story is cute and uplifting, and the artwork is some of the best I've seen in a picture book in quite a while. Absolutely loved it!

Cute book about a gnome who can't grow a beard. Who doesn't love gnomes? I thought this was an adorable story and book.
