The Hidden Fig Tree Shop

The Hidden Fig Tree Shop

Beneath the wide, shady branches of an old fig tree, a very special shop comes to life.

In The Hidden Fig Tree Shop, Wendy creates a make-believe world where pots become treasures, leaves become currency, and every visitor is welcome — especially her dad. With muddy hands and a careful eye, Wendy sets up her shop under the fig tree, arranging plants just so and serving up her most famous treat: green mud cake (which Dad bravely eats, even when it crunches).

This gentle, imaginative story follows Wendy as she plays, experiments, and finds comfort in nature. The fig tree becomes more than a place to sell plants — it becomes a safe space for creativity, connection, and quiet confidence to grow.

Filled with warmth, humour, and botanical charm, The Hidden Fig Tree Shop celebrates childhood imagination, the joy of outdoor play, and the special bond between a child and a parent who says yes to muddy cakes and leafy adventures.

Perfect for young readers who love nature, pretend play, and cosy stories rooted in the everyday magic of childhood.
