A village of pear-gobbling gnomes winds up in a splash of trouble! A shy but brave hero must save the day by diving into the waters where the sometimes scary Beetlebub lurks! A Gnome With No Comb is a cheery tale of adventure with a blast of danger!
An enchanting picture book, A Gnome With No Comb explores issues like feeling different or left out. It was especially written to bring joy to children who have lost their hair due to chemo or alopecia. Jean Paetkau is the author of three Snufflewort adventure stories. She has also written two bestselling murder mysteries for grown-up kids, Blood on the Breakwater and The Sinking of Souls. She is an ovarian cancer survivor who lost her hair due to chemo and was inspired to write this picture book for young cancer warriors. She lives in Victoria, Canada with her two amazing children.Also from
